After major problems. Yes I upgraded the AIW again. Several attempts to
restore, rollback to a working OS. it took with a middle version from the
original, and the current rotten version.
But in the re-install process, I now have double entries in my tray. and
msconfig won't let me delete the dupe entries.
How do I clean out these dupes in startup ? They aren't that way in my startup
folder.
Well here's a new twist I've never seen, but it explains dupes in the startup
folder, just not how they exist there.
folder file name 1 filename 2
startup gozilla gozilla
startup popfile popfile
startup wallpaper wallpaper
what I did was I took the 3 above and MOVED them to the disabled startup items
folder.
Then when I went back to move the 2nd one, popfile, gozilla was still in the
startup. moved all 3 to the disabled folder, and all 3 still existed in the
startup folder.
Fired up msconfig, and it was fixed.
And now I had dupes in the startup and disabled folder.
copying for as long as I can remember, can't be done if the files have the
exact same name. something like can't copy xxxx.xxx to xxxx.xxx to itself.
Invalid operation.
Yet here I had what appeared to be only 1 file name in the startups. there
weren't two copies in the startup folder.
Mystery to me.
Now if I can get :
The Windows Security Center Service was unable to establish event queries with WMI to monitor third party AntiVirus and Firewall.
this problem fixed I'll be back in business, but even MS has nothing on it.
Might help if I knew what WMI is..
