Do This click START on RUN  type msconfig when the configuration utility opens click on the START UP tab and look for the checked option which refers to the file and uncheck it I think It should remedy it. And set your homepage to blank from internet options in internet explorer.\nDo let me know if it worked !\nOpps so it wasn't there and when i tried to reply to your message neither was your email address found there   well then try downloading AD WARE by Lava soft and SPYBOT search and destroy from www.downloads.com and scan your PC 80% chances are you will get it fixed :-) best of Luck and please confirm your email address Thank you

That's a folder on your computer... is it poping up in an explorer window?  Or are you getting some sort of error like "cannot find C:&#92;Program Files&#92;Common&#92;..." \n\nif you are getting something like that, download the Autoruns tool from sysinternals.  Run it (it will take a while to scan your system for the things that start up when you turn the computer on).  Make sure you write down exactly what the error message is before you try using this program.  Once Autoruns has done it's thing (it will at the bottom of the screen say (without prompting) that it is finished it's scan) click the win logon tab and scroll down and see if you see the exact file that isn't running eg c:&#92;program files&#92;common&#92;program&#92;thing.exe and uncheck it.  \n\nBe very, very careful about this.  If you uncheck anything else, your computer may not start up properly (especially if the item in question has the word microsoft in the publisher name).  If this is too much for you to do, then call somebody who knows what they are doing.  It is sometimes better to pay for service rather than rely on yourself, since they can be held liable for any problems rather than you.

It was a piece of malware you had installed. Odds are something cleaned it up for you. Go to Tools, Manage Add-ons, and find any reference to it and set it to "disable". Also, Start - Run - msconfig - OK, go to Startup tab, look for anything else in there and uncheck it. When you reboot check the box that comes up and hit OK so you won't see it again.

It may be the issue with the print spooler.or with the communication..\n\nPerform the steps to reset the spooler in XP :\n\nClick "Start" button on left side of the Desktop to popup Start menu, Click "Run" in Start menu to open Run window.\n\nType the word "SERVICES.MSC" (without quotes) in "Open :" box, click ok button or press Enter key on the keyboard.\n\nA Window will pop up with so many Services listed. \n\nFind "PRINT SPOOLER" service from the list of services.\n\nRight-click on "PRINT SPOOLER"--->"Stop", right-click on "PRINT SPOOLER"--->"Start"\n\nAgain right-click on "PRINT SPOOLER"--->"Restart"\n\nIf the issue still remains , Refresh USB or Parallel port as per your connectivity

Welcome to Windows!  :)\n\nThis sort of thing happens all the time with Windows.  If you know what you're doing you can usually work around it.  Otherwise, log out and then back in again, or just reboot.

Do You perhaps mean a Dialog Box (a dialup box would make it a totally different problem)?.\n\nI think you might need to do a repair install of windows XP (if it is windows XP). Other wise you need to analize the startup process of your windows installation. Download highjack this (http://www.tomcoyote.org/hjt/ )and send me the log maybe i can help. or you can post the log to www.iamnotageek.com\n\nThe error message you have give seems somewhat incomplete.

you have a lot of "stuff" running in the background or something like drivers or programs are conflicting and XP has to deal with them before shutting down. Also if you have restore points activated it could be saving a restore point

might be some sort of virus.\n(If u download something, then also it restarts)\n\nTry scan your computer with good antivirus program.\nNorton / McAfee / SpyBot\n\nGoodLuck

you probably have a virus.  To take care of this you want to start your computer up in safe mode.  Start computer and every three seconds hit F8 untill it gives you a list of options scroll to safe mode.  Windows should start normally run a virus scan and an adware scan.  Then restart.  Should take care of the problem.  If not do a system restore Start>All programs> Accessories>system tools>system restore and do it to a day before when it happened

if you are running Windows ME, this has, and continues to be a problem. agreed to running it in safe mode, there is no way to stop some of the services running in regular mode, and it can take a LONG time to finnish a de-frag, as it starts-over each time, but it gets farther and farther each time.\n\nHope this helps !

This is the easiest and best way to stop this annoyance Start>Run then type in msconfig and hit enter when system configuration utility opens click on the startup tab and uncheck the box next to Bt help notifier, then apply changes and restart your computer. If you need further help e-mail me...........Oh by the way the help notifier is useless anyway so by stopping it at startup you are also saving resources.

looks in your "start menu...  system start up"  see if anything is in there... and delete it

If you mean how can you stop it from starting up, you can stop this by going Start->Run and type msconfig\nThen you click on the start-up tab.\nFinally you deselect MSN Messenger.\n\nThere is also a setting in the options section of this, but the other way will keep it from starting every time you start your computer.\n\nGood luck!
