Run-time error '62'

[katibleu]

The exlanation reads 'Input past end of file'. This error
message pops up at every boot. I click the OK button and
it goes away. It doesn't seem to effect anything. I typed
this full error message into the search field in
Knowledge Base but the list of "products this error
pertains to" didn't list Windows XP. Any advise?

Hello,

This is likely due to a program that is starting up automatically that is
either missing dependent files or is just poorly written. Boot to Safe
Mode and confirm that the issue is not occuring there. If not, then do the
following -

A) Go to Start\Run and type
MSCONFIG <OK>
B) In MSConfig, choose "Selective Startup"
C) Remove all check boxes and click "OK" and "Yes" to reboot.
Then test our issue.
D) If you don’t see the problem at this point, check all except "System
Services" and "Startup Items", click "OK" and "Yes".
Reboot then test our issue.
E) If you don’t see the problem at this point, check all except "System
Services", click "OK" and "Yes".
Reboot and then test our issue.
F) If the problem returns, it is due to a Startup Item. If not, it is a
Service.

For Services:
G) Click the Services tab and check the box for “Hide all Microsoft
Services.”
H) Enable SOME of the disabled items, click "OK" and "Yes".
Reboot, then test our issue.

For Startup Items:
I) Click the Startup tab and enable SOME of the disabled items, click "OK"
and "Yes".
Reboot, then test our issue.

J) Repeat until you track down the offending component.
