Error 7000 event every bootup normal?

[Guest]

I run XP home SP2 on a wired network with another computer. It doesn't
affect anything that I can tell, but system event viewer shows "error ID 7000
mrtRate service failed to start due to error: The system service cannot find
the file specified" every time I boot. Is this normal? Does it hurt
anything? Fix? Explain what is happening.

When attempting to find out something about a Microsoft product, often a

not then maybe one of the other articles apply to your situation.
Otherwise, a Google search might find something relevant
