Every now and again when logging on I get a "Critical Stop" sound followed
by a dialog box titled "Copy"
Message says Windows cannot find copy command, please use run or search(?) .
It has an "ok" button which I click and it continues to load to the Desktop.
What could be causing this.
Any help appreciated. Alan.
 
Greetings, please try the following

1. Open Regedit by going to Start>>Run and then typing regedit.

2. Then do a find for "winshow" When any key is found, delete it by
pressing the delete key. Be sure to hit the F3 (Find Next) key after
each. There are about 10 or so that need to be find. Regedit will say
"Finished Searching" when complete.

3. Repeat the same step above, but this time search for "winlink"

4. After that is done, close regedit.

5. You will then have to search for the the .dll files stored on the
harddrive. Go to search for files at c: Then search for "winshow" and
"winlink" Delete any files that you find. (Im my case I did not find
any files named winlink)

6. Restart the computer
