yes, it usually ask you t ouse your CD , the xp cd will correct it , it usually happen when you install a program that replace the file and made windows xp to always request for it , it happen to me freqently

DO NOT REFORMAT YOUR HARD DRIVE!!!  That was a totally stupid suggestion.  Yes, go to Add/Remove Programs and remove it.  Or, you can go into the Startup Menu and deselect the Yahoo Task Bar so it won't automatically load every time you start up.

Delete the Software Distribution Folder, then restart. \n\nTry again.

Go to Start/Run and enter msconfig. There will be a startup tab that lets you uncheck the stuff you don't want. You can uncheck everything and XP will still run, and go back and recheck things if something stops working right.\nThere's also the Start/All Programs/startup thing you can delete stuff from.

Click on start button located in your windows desktop lower left corner.\nThen click Run\n\nType-   msconfig\n\nIt will pop-up a window.Select StartUp Tab.\n\nLook for start up items which executed when you logon to machine.\n\nIf you find anything related something like explorer or something which opens My Document Folder.Uncheck it and apply.\n\nI hope this will work.\n\nMake sure , you are not unchecking any other item .. as it maye create problem.\n\nbest of Luck \nRegards

reboot and when windows starts to load I think you hit F8 where you'll get an option of "startup types" or something like that.\n\nlook for something called "normal startup"\n\nbeen a while since I've seen windows 98, so my recollection is a bit fuzzy, sorry if this is no help

use safe boot (f4) when booting up the disable all the programs the start up, then one by one turn them on you should find the program thats giving you grief.

Go to windows catalogue (you should have that in your all programmes) Type in the search for a programme called QUICK-START-UP. Its free so download that and it will show you loads of unnecessary programmes that start when windows starts.All you do is click the boxes for the programmes you do not want to run.If you then need them all you do is go into again + simply click them back on---simple!!!!! All the best. Sam

Follow These Steps:\n\n1. Go to Start\n2. Run\n3. Type in "msconfig" (this is the system configuration)\n4. Go on the startup tab\n5. Check the box of the program you do not wish to start up.\n6. There will be a promt to restart. If not, restart anyways.\n7. A message will appear when the restart is complete. Check the box which says "do not show at startup"\n\nTHE END

By going through this problem one can suspect the same which u said. \n\nThere are few checks u can make\n1. Go to add/remove programmes in control panel and check if any unlnown programme installed there. IF u find one remove it.\n\n2. U can block the programme appearing at start-up. For That go to <start>/<run> and write "msconfig" u will see a small window then select the "startup" tab and see the list of programmes which get activated once u boot the pc. try to find any entry which u dont want to run and uncheck it. Apply the settings\n\nI hope this will do.

Yup, safe mode is the ticket.  Or get a startup manager like WinPatrol or StartupCop and kill them that way.\n\nSometimes you can just rename them - the next time Windows starts it may balk at the missing file but by then you  don't care.\n\nMake sure when you do a manual delete like this search for copies of that file stored as a "automatic backup DLL" to make sure it doesn't come back and haunt you.

depending on ur OS, use msconfig or sysedit command from the run of start menu and start closing all the unnecessary application starting during booting up. this would solve ur problem... its bcoz of some software uninstalled, but not in a proper way. try it out... if this doesn't help... there's no other way out except formatting and reloading the OS,\n\nby the way, does this error emerges even when u log on in safe mode? if not, u r lucky, don't format and follow what i suggested formerly

Look down the list and often by looking at the file name or the folder it is in you can guess what it controls.  If not, try turning it off, reboot and see what happens.  \n\nThe worst that could happen is your computer might hang up before it gets all the ay into Windows.  Then you would need to reboot in Safe Mode (press the F8 key during the initial boot up and when the menu appears select Safe Mode).  \n\nIn Safe Mode none ot the startup stuff it loaded.  Go into msconfig and turn whatever it was back on.\n\nLittle bit of trial and error and you should be able to detect what you do and don't want to run.

click on start->programs->startup\n\nlook for startup folder\nis your common folder inside ? \nif it's inside, delete it, dont worry deleting it from there does not mean deleting it from your computer.\n\nif not, you gotta click on run\nden type in msconfig\n\ngo to startup and remove the common folder\n\ntry not to touch anything else. might screw up your system

Ohhhh it sounds like you got some crappy mal-ware. You need to go download a program to get the crud out. That happens to me fairly often. \nAnd I lost my system 32 folder too from that. But its just hidden. Heres what I do I go in the address bar in "My Computer" and type in: "C:&#92;WINDOWS&#92;system32" and it takes me right to it. As to fixing the problem I dont know how. Just get a good virus scanner. \nOh and when you remove the virus (or whatever you wanna call it) You should be able to use your taskman again. This is probably the only way to do it so ya
