System 32 folder loads on startup

Hi, Just got this new Dell Dimension a week ago, problem is that system 32 folder is opened every time I boot up.  I've tried searching the microsoft knowledge base but no joy.  I have modified registry entries with exclamation marks, checked startup folder and msconfig but cannot find a solution.  Any ideas?

    Hi, I had this problem with my new Dimension too. Do you have an Audigy 2 sound card? If you do, go to the Welcome menu (Start > Programs > Creative > SB Audigy 2 > Welcome menu) and check the box that says "Do not show this again". That fixed the problem for me. If you don't have an Audigy 2 then I don't know what else it could be. Hope this helps!

    Geministar,

    Another option.

    On several systems recently, this problem has been caused by a line on the startup tab of msconfig. Go to Start|Run|type msconfig and click OK. On the startup tab, look for /L:ENG. If found, uncheck it. That entry is associated with the SB Audigy 2.

    Thank you Zigmund 21 and Denny Denham, it was to do with Audigy 2 so you were both correct.  I unchecked the box with L:Eng and sure enough problem solved.  Thanks so much, it was driving me mad

    Giministar,

          Mine was the same as yours..... just got my 8300 about a week ago, and the Sys 32 Folder started popping up.  I saw your note here and the responses by Zig and the other person, and Zig's solution worked for me.  I did the msconfig thing, and looked for the L:/eng thing but didn't find it.

          Thanks to all who responded to the original problem on this.
