[Dean]

The system 32 folder opens every time when the computer
boots up. Any ideas on how to stop this?

Hi Dean,

Please see:

Also, start/run msconfig, and see if there is a line that loads /L:ENG. If
so, disable it. It comes from a SoundBlaster Audigy driver, but should not
affect that hardware. You can also repair the registry entry if you like by
removing the leading space in the string that loads it.

However, it can also be caused by other incorrectly built registry strings.
Could you please export and post the contents of these keys in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

To do this, start/run regedit, expand the branches to each key (do this one
at a time). Click on the key, then on file/export. Give it any name, then
save to the desktop. Once you have saved both keys, close the registry
editor. Right-click one of the saved files on the desktop, choose edit, it
should open in notepad. Click edit/select all/edit/copy. Open a response to
this post and click in the message text area. Hit ctrl+v to paste the
contents. Repeat for the other saved key, then send the post for
examination.

Rick,

I too am having this error for my wifes acount on the
machine (Win XP Home). I have run MSCONFIG and the app
open but forgive me as I do not know what I am looking
for in the app. Which tab is the /L:ENG line? I have an
Audigy sound card from Dell.

Also, while reading other KB articles on the MS site I do
not have a backup icon in my start>all
progs>accessories>systemtools> folder! Is this incorrect?

I'd appreciate your help.

Regards,
Kevin.

Hi Kevin,

You'll be better off using the registry fix from MVP Kelly for the Audigy
sound card fix, it's far easier than mucking through the registry:

Backup is not installed by default in WinXP Home, and some system makers do
not included it at all. If yours does, or you have a retail version, then
you can add it from the CD:
