On Startup Box Pops Up
Dec 27, 2006On startup a box pops up and says that lass.exe has terminated unexpectedly and the system will be restarted in 60 seconds.It does this in normal mode and safe mode.I don't think there is any antivirus on the machine, as a brillant student uninstalled it because it was expired and she needed space for mp3s. Not good I know.This is a Dell Dimension 4500 with 128 meg of ram and WinXP home.
System 32 Folder At Startup
Apr 4, 2008Whenever I start my computer up, the C:WINDOWSsystem32 folder opens up.. everytime! I have looked at several forums to try to fix my problem, and I have tried the fix at this website: http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm (line 260) and this is the message that came up:"the script cannot repair your issue. The expected Registry value was not found."I have no idea what to do.. I read on one forum that the guy had to basically clean off his hard drive and re install it! I REALLY don't want to have to go through that.. especially since I'm a college student, and finals are coming up.. the last thing I need is to be without my own computer. I have searched on this site for forums pertaining to this subject, but I haven't found any.

Nov 25, 2006My bothers new computer (two months old) is doing something strange. Every time it boots up, loads windows The C:Program Filesintel directory pops up on the screen. He has an intel Motherboard, and Pentium 4 3.0. I checked first the startup folder, nothing there that I could see would access that folded. I then ran msconfig just to see if anything else was showing that directory. Still nothing. Then I download some startup manager from download.com (I cant remember the exact name of it) but it showed me the same thing I had seen before, and nothing that pointed to the Intel directory. (Some pointed to the intel Audio directory, but that directory exists).I do know after I ran msconfig I went into safe mode and the directory didnt start up. But when I booted back into Windows XP Pro again it showed up?Anybody know what else I can do? I wonder if I change the name of the directory, wouldnt that throw an error and maybe I can figure out what it trying to access it?
