Hi all,

The problem is that I have a blank entry in MSCONFIG.

When I go into MSCONFIG and under the Startup tab, there is a checkbox
and a path leading to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentRun in
the registry with a blank name. I have been visiting many community forums
and I did find a forum that had the very same problem.

Can anybody explain this?
 
Sam;
Have you looked in the Registry at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
to see what the blank entry might be?
 
Yes. It displays a name WebCamRT.exe. That's what it displays under the
Name column. Under the Type column it is REG_SZ. Under the Data colum
in the registry displays nothing. It is blank no path

I clicked Start, Run, and typed "WebCamRT.exe" and it displayed the followin
error

ERROR: failed to retrieve WebCam registry key

I do have a Logitech WebCam that I recently installed

Any suggestions?
 
Sam;
You can use your WebCamRT.exe software by starting it from some shortcut?

Start | Run won't start the program unless it has the path.
For example>> Start | Run | Type: C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\Office\WINWORD.EXE
======
If you can open WebCamRT; look for preferences or something
similar and see if you can find something like "start when Windows starts" or
Load at startup" or similar and UNCheck it.
=====
If you want to remove the start reference::
Open regedit and go to>>
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
in the right hand pane | right click WebCamRT.exe | Delete | Yes |
Close regedit.
=======
If you want to try to fix it::

Open regedit and go to>>
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
in the right hand pane | right click WebCamRT.exe | Modify |
Paste or type the path:::
For example>>> C:\Program Files\Zone Labs\ZoneAlarm\zonealarm.exe /startup
Click OK | Close regedit
**********
I know nothing about WebCamRT or where it lives!!!!!
Or anything about the correct path!!!!
************
If you choose the fix; WebCamRT will start every time you boot.
 
Thanks Wesley

I didn't fix it and since it's not causing a problem I'll just leave it. However, I did fin
out what caused it. It was my webcamera that I installed.

What are some possible causes that can cause a blank entry in MSCONFIG?
