after Xteq - "serious error" message at every boot up

[Vicki]

Hello,

I downloaded the Xteq "tweaking" program, and applied a few tweaks to a
fresh install of XP pro. What I changed was mainly lowering the timeout
periods for ending programs at shutdown, enabling XP to "shut down" the
motherboard (doesn't shut down on its own now due to "standard pc /acpi
install"), and enabling text-only passwords.

After applying the Xteq tweaks and rebooting I got the "serious error"
screen after boot up (which seemed to get "stuck" - required about 10 clicks
to close it). So, I "undid" all the Xteq tweaks, but I still get the error
message. Also now an annoying little blue password box is appearing at boot
up (I entered a null password when installing XP, so XP would always bypass
the "normal" password screen with the name-icon on it and go right to the
desktop at boot).

Now, even though my computer seems to be functioning okay, I get this
"sticky" little "serious error window" every time I boot and of course the
password logon.

I'll paste the error below. Any help would certainly be appreciated.

Vicki

Hi Vicki,

First, I would do a System Restore to a date prior to the tweaks. If that
fails, you can send me the minidump file (use the email addy used here, just
change the subject line to "per req") and I'll see if I can identify the
problematic file.
