I've just upgraded to xp. When starting I get a pop up
window labeled 'itsstart.exe' which tells me no disk is
loaded. What disk does this refer to?
 
Open MSCONFIG from Start|Run
Look in the Startup listing for a reference to the file
If you find one, uncheck it, and click Apply, OK, and Reboot on request -
your popup should be gone

itsstart is not a Windows file, and may be spyware or a virus

download and run the latest Stinger, from here
http://download.nai.com/products/mcafee-avert/stinger.exe - which should be
able to cope with most of the latest AV/regedit-killing viruses out there.

Then update your own anti-virus, and run a full system scan of all files

Download AdAware from
www.lavasoftusa.com, install, update, and run it to remove spyware, adware,
and other such nasties from your system.


See if that helps
