Missing Boot File "SsiEfr.exprestrt"

[Chaplain Rae]

I've run XP Pro for over 3 years now with no problem. Approx. 1 month ago I
noticed after a restart that between my "LOGO" & "LOG-IN" screen, I get a
blue screen with the message (SsiEfr.exsprestrt program not found - skipping
"AutoCheck".) Now I have no idea how long this has been a problem as my
computer is ALWAYS ON and I run excellent Anti-Virus as well as multiple
MalWare programs, so a restart is periodic, usually for refresh only.
Question is do I need it? What's the advantage? Where do I get it?
Thanks guys, this is a great form.

The registry entry at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session
Manager\BootExecute may have an entry for 'autocheck' which can be removed.

Thanks Mark for the quick reply but I am still confused. On the [HKEY. . .]
you say "BootExecute may have an entry for 'autocheck' which can be removed"
???

How would I recongnize " it ", this entry that may be there, what will it do
if I go this route? Will the program come back that it can not find? Kind
of goes back to my orginal question Do I Need It & What is the Advantage to
having "AUTOCHECK" ?

If you could give me just a little more guidence and insight I would greatly
be in your debt.

Windows is started with commands to look for this 'dirty' marker in the
registry. If it finds it, it runs the CHKDSK utility to find lost file
fragments, and repair hard drive problems. Removing the Value (named
'Autocheck') from the registry lets Windows start without thinking the disk
is 'dirty'. Any time you tell the system to do 'Error Checking' either in
the drive Properties, or through some error, the Value would be rewritten to
that place in the registry.
In the registry, "Keys" are in the left pane, and "Values" in the right.
When you doubleclick a Value, you see the "Data"
--
click the Ratings button. Voting helps the web interface.

Thanks again Mark, it has taken me a couple days to get back to the threads.
Your info was right on. Blessings to you and yours.
