I receive the following error message on boot up - I am
able to click ok and proceed but would like to know how to
resolve.

"An error ocurred reading the startup configuration file.
Please contact your administrator. Line 220: syntax
eror: unterminated string literal.user.pref($update"

This is on a stand-alone pc running windows xp pro.


Thank you.

Something is crashing on startup. Go to Start>Run and type "msconfig"
without the quotes. Look on the Startup tab and see what programs are
starting with Windows. If you are unsure what something is, post back
with the name(s). Another good idea is to scan with a spyware removal
tool such as Spybot S&D and/or Ad-aware. I assume you are running a
current updated antivirus program. Another place to look for clues is
in the Event Viewer - Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Event Viewer.
Post back if you need more help.
