Error Parsing message?

[Pucedynamo]

Hello
Have just re-installed WinXP Pro. Updated with all MS
patches etc etc. Run all current virus cleaners. Now
getting the following message fairly frequently, for
instance when accessing a file download dialogue on a web
page.
"Error parsing C:\windows\system32
\URTTemp\config\machine.config. Parser returned error
0x80070003"
Click OK. Error dialogue disappears and there does not
seem to be any consequencial effect. It's just an
annoyance and I'm curious as to what is causing this.
Any ideas anyone, please?
Thanks

You may want to run CHKDSK.

Chkdsk
Creates and displays a status report for the disk. The chkdsk command also
lists and corrects errors on the disk.

The chkdsk command with the parameters listed below is only available when
you are using the Recovery Console. The chkdsk command with different
parameters is available from the command prompt.

chkdsk [drive:] [/p] [/r]

Parameters

none

Used without parameters, chkdsk displays the status of the disk in the
current drive.

drive:

Specifies the drive that you want chkdsk to check.

/p

Performs an exhaustive check even if the drive is not marked for chkdsk to
run. This parameter does not make any changes to the drive.

/r

Locates bad sectors and recovers readable information. Implies /p.

Note

a.. The chkdsk command requires the file Autochk.exe. If it cannot find it
in the startup directory (\%systemroot%\System32, by default), it will
attempt to locate it on the Windows Installation CD. If you have a multiboot
computer, be sure you are issuing this command from the drive containing
Windows.
