Hi, Ant.

That file, mainview.exe, is not in MY WinXP Pro. Google turns up just one
hit, and that is to a URL in Israel and is in Hebrew (I think; I don't read
Hebrew).

Have you scanned your system for spyware and viruses? Lately?

Hi,

In Windows XP you can run msconfig at the run line. Under Startup tab
untick the one relating to your problem.
