If you have fixed the problem by copying the config.nt file from
\Windows\Repair to \Windows\System32 and the error keeps recurring
then you most likely have a virus or spyware infestation in your
computer.

Make certain your antivirus software is completely up to date, with
the virus definitions not more than 7 days old and do a complete virus
scan of your computer. Then get a "second opinion" by doing a free
online virus scan at one of the following sites:

Also check your computer for Spyware by following the procedures on

Good luck
