Start-up error messages problem: 7 January 2005 15:15
(New to this - Is this the best place to post this question
?)
Hi,
After a search for temporary files, (i.e. *.tmp), followed
by their removal,(recommended by Kodak for a clean
installation of digital camera software),I repeatedly
receive
two error messages when I start the computer.
With the understanding that you should be reading 6 little
squares inside the single quote marks, their wordings are:-
1) Windows cannot find ' '. Make sure you typed the
name correctly, and then try again.
2) Could not load or run ' ' specified in the registry. Make
sure the file exists on your computer or remove the
reference to it in the registry.
From Ted Ziegler's reply: It sounds like some program wants
to start with Windows, but the registry entry needed to do
this has been corrupted.Don't touch the registry unless and
until you know what you're doing.
I cannot search for the reference ' ' as I cannot make the 6
little squares appear in the entry line of Search. Also,
have no experience with the registry, so I will not attempt
to edit it by hand.
However, can someone advise whether they think a downloaded
registry cleaner, (or some other use of specialised
knowledge), would be likely to be successful in removing the
reference ' ', or blocking these error messages, as I am
reluctant to call in an expert just for this, when
everything else seems to be OK.
Thanks a lot gentlemen - Ian Hutcheson
