Annoying error message during startup

Beginning last week I get a message "Cannot find file in C\Program\...."
during the boot just after the Welcome splash screen. I can click OK, then
everything seems to work OK. Because there is no folder "C:\Program\", I
suspect a virus or some outside cause.

Has anyone heard of this as something that could be dealt with?

Thanks

1st action i would take, would be to run msconfig (Start|Run| then type
it in... press OK), and see if there's anything on the last 2 tabs that
seems to be the culprit... may take some detective work (google helps me
a lot), but I'd bet that you'd find it there.. :)

ps: msconfig has to be run with admin privileges...

Try C:\Program Files

You have something that wants to start at boot that has been removed or is
screwed up.
 
Hi Ramesh,

Did the tsunamis cause you any problems?

I hope not.

I wondered about you when I first heard the news.
 
Hi Wes,

Thanks! I'm fine here as I live in sub-urb Chennai, 15-20 Kms (road-route) away from the Tsunami hit Marina Beach.
