My system seems to run fine but recently, every time I log
on to Windows the System32 window pops up. I close the
window and everything is fine but why does this keep
happening? I'm running XP Home Ed. My system has a AMD 650
processor, 320MB Ram, 20gig hard drive. Any advice is
appreciated. Thanks.

This didn't solve my problem. After running the repair
file this message came up, "This script cannot repair your
issue. The expected Registry value was not found." Is
there anything else I can do?
Thanks
