msconfig blocked during boot?

I am trying to track down why my modem causes a blue screen during boot.
One of the ways I was going to do that was to set msconfig to write a boot
log. If I choose that option, I suppose I now go to a non-standard boot
senario.

My question is, after boot I get a message with an icon in the system tray,
that states "Blocked Startup Programs". The program being blocked is
msconfig. It seems a little strange to me that a Windows program would be
blocked.

Anyone know exactly what must be done to allow this program to run? I have
checked and it appears none of the properties selection options are
available, probably since TrustedInstaller owns the program.

I am not entirely sure if a part of the utility isn't running and just the
pop-up window is being blocked. But it looks a little strange.

Thanks,
Clark
 
I'm assuming you're using build 5600 or earlier. I had this issue also, but
it has been fixed since 5728.
 
No, newest build, RC2 5744---

You can turn of UAC and it will run normally, but is that the way it should
work?

I had this blockage (build 5600) when removing a startup program in
msconfig. It turned out it was the pop up when you reboot that warns you
that you have made changes. If I allowed the pop up I could place the tick
to not show me again. Not sure if that helps you though. Right click the
blocked program and check the options to allow it.
