persistent "OK" window on desktop

[bemused]

For the past week I've been getting a small open window on
my desktop (2000P) when it boots that is identified as
OK. The window contains the word "unresolve". I've
tracked it in System to a PID qthhvaswl.exe. Does anyone
know from what application this is comes and why?

Not an operating system file. Natively you can; Start\Settings\Control
Panel\Administrative Tools\Computer Management(Local)\System
Information\Software Environment\Startup Programs|View|Advanced, then in the
"Location" column, you'll find the path to the "Startup" location either in
the "Startup" directories or from the registry's "Run" keys.

%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
%USERPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

You can delete the shortcuts that you no longer want to run.


HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

You can delete the string value for the program you no longer want to run.

or copy msconfig from Windows XP

I ahve just solved this problem after 3h (

Check out: "ProcessExplorer" from
http://www.sysinternals.com

Look for a Task msclock.exe.
End it.

See if you can open the normal Windows-Taskmanager and it
stays open.
I have deleted the file then system32/msclock.exe

This PC i had to work on had also several other exe in the
system32-dir.
So maybe they were the problem (qsesda.exe, jjikdqs.exe,
qfabgxw.exe, svhosts11.exe, wcs.exe)

Just tryin' to help...maybe one of this files solves your
problem.
