I have a run-time error at startup only. I get a pop up
window that says "sex" run-time error '53'. How do I make
it stop???
 
Sounds like remnants of some malware. 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 have a similar problem...but I don't see anything to delete and th
problem persists.

In Regedit HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
I have the following 4 files.
(Default)
PrinterSpool
RFX_auto_upgrade
Synchronization Manager

In Regedit
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
I have the following 6 files:
(Default)
Iexplore Services
MC
Shell32
Window Washer
Yahoo! Pager

Could it be that MC program? Don't know what it is so I don't want t
delete it. Should I try to copy msconfig from Windows XP? How do I d
that? Is that risky?

Please advise.
