    What version of windows do you have installed on this system? What was added removed or changed on this system prior to the onset of this problem?

    I have Windows 98.    I'm not sure what may have been deleted.    I have 4 teenagers who may have inadvertently deleted a file.

    If you are using MS Office I have seen this a couple times with MicroSoft Office. You might try uninstalling and reinstalling MS Office if you have it. If not there is a way to clear out the startup group to try and stop whatever is giving you the error from starting up with your system. You can find out more info about this by going to ....
     
     
    Then click the Computers page and click the link for "What is startup up with your system?" That will give you info about clearing startup. If that still doesn't work and the problem has only been happening the last couple times you turned on the computer then you can try what is called a SCANREG /RESTORE. To restore the computer to an earlier time when it was working. There is also a Step by Step walkthrough about how to do this at the website listed above. Goto the Computers page and click the link about "How to run SCANREG /RESTORE(Win98/ME)".
     
    And if all of that still doesn't work this might be caused by spyware. You can go to the website listed above, goto the Computer page and then try following the instructions for downloading and removing spyware using AdAware. That should cover almost anything that it could be please reply and let me know if you need further help.
