Without knowing the type of windows you have, and the complete message you are getting, it makes it difficult to answer you exactly.  However, it sounds like either a file has become corrupted so when you start Windows it cannot access it correctly. That a file that your operating system uses has been deleted and you are getting the message because it is missing.  Or you have uninstalled a program and the installation program has incorrectly removed a program that your system thinks should be there.\n\nTo get rid of the error, you will either have to edit the file or resource that is looking generating the error (ini file, registry etc.), reinstall the missing file, or reinstall the software you removed.\n\nGood luck

Start > Run > MSCONFIG\n\nClick the "Startup" tab.  Be very cautious when deselecting programs; you do not want to stop something from running that you need for the system to run.

If it is the Windows Firewall, go to Control Panel, and go to Windows Firewall.  You can turn it off there, but beware, don't keep it off for long.

You can go to Start->Run and type in msconfig and then go to startup and uncheck the stuff that you don't want to start up when you turn on your computer. Be careful what you uncheck.

There's a way to deactivate that menu. If you have Win Xp and if it starts, click Start -> system panel or configuration panel (something panel) -> then in the panel window look for SYSTEM and click twice on it -> in the next window click on ADVANCED in the choices at the top of the window. then under ADVANCED you'll find 3 buttons called parameters, click on the 3rd, in the next window unmark the two first option-squares and click OK. Restart your computer.Please if this works(I hope), give me ten points. Thank you. Good luck.

Try Start/Run msconfig\nClick on the startup tab, and uncheck the items you do not want to Run at Startup.   BE CAREFUL.   You need some of those!   Only uncheck items you KNOW you can do without!

Click on start then goto the control panel.\ndouble-click on the security center.\nclick on 'recommendations' check the box marked\n'I have a .... that I will monitor myself'\nclick 'ok'\nDo this for each thing windows is complaining about.\nThe security alert is there to remind you to make sure your system is updated and secure. Turn this off knowing Windows will never remind you again about your anti-virus, firewall or automatic updates not being activated.\n\nIf you do not see the security center. In the upper left hand corner of the control panel you will see \n'switch to classic view'

You have two choices. Just click the 'start' and then 'run' and type 'msconfig'. The last tab is 'startup'. Disable anything you do not want to start when your computer starts (I disable everything and if you really need it windows will force a start on it). Restart your computer and check the box to 'never show again'.\n\nOr\n\nGo to C:&#92;windows&#92;system 32&#92; magnify.exe. Just delete 'magnify.exe' and it will not start again. (you can just search for the file too.)

Does this help:\n\nWindows XP Setup - Missing HAL.DLL\nError Message: Cannot Find &#92;Windows&#92;System32&#92;hal.dll\nhttp://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_haldll_missing.htm\n\n\nError Message: Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt\nhttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/320252/en-us

Go to Start Button > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services.\n\nThe Services application should display.  Scroll down to Windows Installer and double-click on it.  If you want to temporarily start Windows Installer and have it still be disabled when you reboot, click on the Start button and wait for the service to restart.  There is no need to stop the service as it will be disabled the next time you boot.

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.

1) Try Start, Configuration, Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs\n\n\n2) If it fails, try the Windows install cleanup utility:\n\nhttp://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;290301

you are talking about those programs that start up when you turn your pc on ? if so go to start> run> type in msconfig then so to the startup tab you will see all the programs that load up when you start you can disable them from there, just double check which programs you are disabling :) then click apply and restart and the programs you clicked off are not loaded...
