I have 3 accounts on my xp home package. When ever I start up on my account
I keep getting error messages and it freezes the start up. If I open up in
one of the other accounts then change user to mine the problem is not
evident. Anyone have any ideas. Thanks in advance
 
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

As that user, look at the above key, and remove anything running at startup.

Another way is to go to Start/Run, and type MSCONFIG. There wil be a StartUp
tab to uncheck items.

Post copies of Error Reports as they appear in Event Viewer.


Make an exact note of the precise text of any error message. Minor
discrepancies can
make it harder to search for information about the error message.

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Administrative Tools, Event
Viewer.
When researching the meaning of the error, information regarding Event ID,
Source
and Description are important.

Part of the Description of the error will include a link, which you should
double click
for further information and you can copy using copy and paste.

(Please note the hyperlink above is for illustration purposes only)

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double click
on the
error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a button resembling
two
pages. Double click the button and close Event Viewer. Now start your
message
(email) and do a paste into the body of the message. This will paste the
info from the
Event Viewer Error Report complete with links into the message. Make sure
this is
the first paste after exiting from Event Viewer.
