had to do a system restore on my XP home edition because of very poor system
performance and i could not discover the reason for it. i was concerned a
major problem was about to arise as it has happened before and i've had to
reinstall my OS. the system resore was successful but i now have a reoccuring
alert window that pops up anywhere from every 30 seconds to every couple of
minutes.the alert states "runner error, runner file name-fspex.exe-lacks"
some sort of 3 line shaped symbol is shown called "a app id seperator" i take
that to mean an application id seperator. i have no idea what that is or how
to repair the file. i can see, at this point, no other option than another
HDD reformat and OS install as i cannot seem to enable another successfull
system restore point. if i undo this restore my concern regarding the system
performance might be as bad as i think it could, programs like my internet
security software and internet explorer where encountering problems and had
to close on a regular basis, and i'd still have no option but to reinstall my
OS. i've tried to find the file with the search application and windows
explorer with no success. luckily i have more than 1 sysem and i am able to
keep the alert window open and tuck it under the task bar so it doesn't keep
opening time after time. i fear though, that this will lead to a larger
problem, and i have no clue as to what a "Runner" is. i would prefer to fix
the file, but i am willing to sacrifice whatever would be deleted along with
the alert window. thanks, and may all our questions be answered
