Error Message: Could not load or run "C:\Documents' specified in registry.
Make sure the file exists on your computer or remove the reference to it in
the registry.


I don't understand how this happened. Whenever I search for this file or
folder, I pull up "My Documents..." There's no such document or file that's
merely "Documents." It's always My Documents. Anyway. If necessary, how
would I remove the reference from the registry?

I run Windows XP, sp 3, and IE 8 (beta).

Please help.

How do I find and use "Event Error"?

 

[nass]

Open a Notepad, customize or minimize to the taskbar as you will need it
later for this step to copy the error message on it.
Open a run command and type in:
eventvwr.msc click [OK] you will get the Event viewer control Panel.
click on each of these:
Application
System
Security
Look in the right Pane/window for error message with red (X) or Yellow
exclamation mark /!\ , double click each one to get more info about the
causer.
On the Event error properties message you will see:
Up Arrow
Down arrow
Two pages
Click on the two pages to copy the error message then bring up the Notepad
you opened earlier and right click on the first line and select Paste from
the list, this will paste the error message on a Notepad.
Please don't duplicate the error message one of each kind will be sufficient.

Please we need just the error messages with Red (X) and don't repeat the
error, just one of each kind and post them back in your next post.

When I click IE 7/Tool/Internet Options, it flickers and disappears. I can't
open Options to deal with Add-on or ActiveX. Why?
