When XP is loaded and star up is complete the blue folder screen named system
32 appears. How can I stop this from happening?
 
One way is to read through previous posts before asking a question, to see
if your issue has already been asked and answered. Your question has been
asked and answered endlessly.

Thanks for this - I have just read the article and do not understand what
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
means.

I am not techy just some one with a problem he is trying to solve!!
 
How does one read previous posts. It was rather easy using Netscape but I
have never figured out how to do it in OE.

TIA

If I had asked the question, I would not be able to understand the answer
myself.

The name of the group is newusers. Many answers are far too technical for
newusers (or inexperienced) to understand. Many answers are very well
written and can easily be followed by newbys. The answers written by TZ and
a few others would be better left unanswered IMO.

That is the solution to your problem. If you are unable to implement this
solution you will need to ask someone who can.

Computers are high technology devices and as such are rarely given to simple
explanations.
 
Go here: http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/Regjump.html and
download Regjump. Unzip it and place it in your Windows\SYSTEM32
folder. That is easy to do... unzip, copy, paste regjump.exe in the
SYSTEM32 folder.

Now, click on the Start Menu and paste this in the RUN box:

regjump HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

That will take you to the key where you need to find the key (in the
right had pane) that contains only " for the Data Value. In THE RIGHT
HAND PANE click and highlight the name of the key with the " value and
delete it. DO NOT DELETE THE YELLOW LITTLE FOLDERS ON THE LEFT! If you
can't follow these instructions have someone help you!

Hi,

Please see:

Also, start/run msconfig, and see if there is a line that loads /L:ENG. It
comes from a SoundBlaster Audigy driver, and it can cause this problem as
well. If it exists, use the registry fix from MVP Kelly:

Line 260 on the right:
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

It's far easier than mucking about in the registry. The problem can also be
caused by other incorrectly built registry strings. So, if the first two
steps don't help you, could you please export and post the contents of these
keys in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

To do this, start/run regedit, expand the branches to each key (do this one
at a time). Click on the key, then on file/export. Give it any name, then
save to the desktop. Once you have saved both keys, close the registry
editor. Right-click one of the saved files on the desktop, choose edit, it
should open in notepad. Click edit/select all/edit/copy. Open a response to
this post and click in the message text area. Hit ctrl+v to paste the
contents. Repeat for the other saved key, then send the post for
examination.
