    - problems with %temp% This question actually started because I found I could not install paint.net 3.31. The installer would create a file folder in D&S\HP Owner\local settings\temp and then flash and quit with no crash file created. Anyway, from a forum on paint.net I was asked to check my temp files by using the command %temp%. When I do that I get the message 'windows cannot find 'C:\Documents... When I manually look for the folder through my computer the temp file is where it should be. It seems that the two situations may be related. I'm sorry to get verbose on this, but I am trying to be clear about my problem. BTW, when I use other %*% commands, such as systemroot they work. I am running WindowsXP home edition with SP3. Celeron 2.8GHz and 1.5MB RAM. I have an 80GB hard drive with 44GB available. The paint.net forum seemed to think my windows installation was corrupted, but everything else works fine, with the single exception of Nexus radio which does install, but crashes every time I attempt to use it. One other note, again on advice from the paint.net forum I have uninstalled qand reinstalled all of my net frameworks from 1.1 through 3.5. Any help or direction on where to look would be much appreciated. Tag: MSCONFIG Window - Entry removal Tag: 228261

    - BSOD recovery One of my machines came up this morning with a BSOD. The message is: "The registry cannot load the hive(file): \SystemRoot\System32\config\Software or its log or alternate" It is corrupted, absent, or not writable." Then it does a dump of physical memory to the disk. Re-booting into safe mode gives the same result, as does returning to the last known good configuration. How can I recover from this? Repair installation? New HD, and copy off what data I can (provided the disk is readable)? Thanks, Mike Tag: MSCONFIG Window - Entry removal Tag: 228245

    - 719 fragments in 2.10GB file After defragging my Windows XP PC the report shows 719 fragments in a 2.10GB file - it appears to my Outlook 2007 pst file. I've been having some crashing issues with IE7 lately (hence the defrag) - could all these fragments in Outlook be the issue? I don't recall ever seeing these fragments before. I checked an old defrag report that I had saved from 2/10/2007 and there was only the 2 fragments in the 113KB file. I am concerned about the size of the fragments (over 2GB) and not sure if there's anything I should/could do about them.

    - Deferred Process Calls About 2 days ago I noticed my laptop slowing to a crawl. AFter checking CPU on task manager I came to the boards and from another related thread downloaded Process Explorer. Whike there have been occasional brief breaks, PE tells me that DPC's are taking up about 65-70% of my CPU for hours on end. I am a pretty good user, but not technical enough to follwo what I read. Most of what I can find says that something like this is likley a driver issue. There is nothing in the device manager that shows anything amiss and I cannot find anything in Process Exploere to help me understand how to find what the device is that is hogging the resource. Something in the help files suggested enableing the context swtiches which runs a continually larger number- in the millions but provides no insight. How do I find out what is causing this, short of uninstalling and reinstalling every component on the system? IBM Tablet X61/ XP SP2 current with updates/ 2 Gig memory/ Core DUO L7500 1.g ghz. Norton 2008 and nothing else funky or odd on the system. Nay help very much appreciated. I had to close all my other apps just to post this! Thanks Tag: MSCONFIG Window - Entry removal Tag: 228233

    - SP3 - Failure to install I have 3 PCs and a laptop all running XP (Home, Pro and Media). Last week I downloaded SP3, and installed it successfully on the 3 PCs - but installation on the laptop failed on each of three attempts. On the PCs I simply ran the downloaded file, "WindowsXP-kb936929 SP3-x86-enu.exe", and the install proceeded without a hitch. On the laptop the installation almost completed, then failed with the following popup "Service Pack 3 Setup...." "Access is Denied". SP3 then uninstalled and, following a reboot, the laptop seemed to be working as before. For subsequent attempts I closed all running programs and non-essential processes manually and using "End It All", but the result was the same. The laptop is an Asus F3J (Intel Core 2 Duo 1.66 with 1GB memory & 120GB HDD) running XP Media Centre. I am the Administrator and only user. I am not using a password on start-up. Some help would be appreciated. -- Brisbane, Australia Tag: MSCONFIG Window - Entry removal Tag: 228223

    - Windows Update ALWAYS thinks it has updates when it doesn't !! Windows Update going in circles. After installing ALL the recommended Windows Update, I go to shut down and it says there are updates to be installed... I click it and it attempts to install many of the same updates it already said were successfully installed. So where is it flagging this info and how do I clean it up? Yes, I have been in the Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc) and used the hack to disable Shut down and install updates, and while this hack successfully turns off the false notifications, it doesn't deal with the original issue... that is, that Windows Update ALWAYS thinks it has updates when it doesn't!!

    - System Recovery died Tried to run system recovery on a PC with Windows XP that I replaced and want to donate to a school. Went to quick format to erase all data files and installed applications. Recovery started but stopped (several times) at between 16% and 18% completed, always on a Windows\I386\ file, but never the same one. The screen flickers and the process stalls. Starting over (F-10) doesn't help, same result. Rebooting normally gets a DOS message "NTLDR is missing" CTRL+ALT+DEL to restart, which goes back to the same message. Can't reboot, can't run recovery. This PC will be usless unless this problem can be resolved. Any ideas???? Thanks, Dave G. Tag: MSCONFIG Window - Entry removal Tag: 228127

    - System clock switches from AM to PM or PM to AM by itself This started after my last vacation. I left my computer off for about 12 days. When I returned and started it up I noticed the time was 12 hours slow. I changed the time to the correct one using the atomic clock on my wall, verified by my cell phone and by nist.gov website. I've had to change the time about 10 times a day because it keeps changing itself to the incorrect time, 12 hours in the past. The minutes seem to stay correct, keeping in sync with my atomic clock but the PM/AM or AM/PM is always the opposite. I've changed the time in BIOS. I've changed the time in command prompt. Both times using military time. I can't find how to change my windows lock to 24 hour mode to maybe fix this but that's not what I need. I've run 2 anti-spyware programs and neither found any issue I wasn't already aware of (such as some programs starting when windows does, which I need them to). I didn't install or remove any programs before or after shutting the computer down for that 12 day period. I've changed the CMOS battery. The one I took out has perfect voltage as does the new one. I've unchecked 'auto adjust for dst'; sync with windows and/or time.nist but it won't sync. When it did sync a day after this issue started, it synced 12 hours slow. My PC is custom using AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual 4600+ at 2.4GHz with 2GB RAM. I'm running WinXP SP2 Home. ** I am now looking at my system properties and it shows my processor is at 1.00GHz. This may be my issue. It's a fairly new processor and I haven't seen it show that before, it usually said 2.4 GHz ** Does anyone have a clue why my clock is so off or if the 1.00GHz issue on system properties for my processor could be the issue?

    - Recreating Default User Profile I was troubleshooting a profile problem on a Windows XP PC and found that the user profile was corrupt. I backed up the necessary desktop files, favourites and quicklaunch icons. Removed the user profile in System Properties and logged back on as the user but it loaded up with someone else's desktop wallpaper and old icons and many other things were just wrong. I logged on as myself and the same happened. I checked Default User profile and saw that all this incorrectness was because it was all in the Default User profile. I really want to just recreate the Default User profile. Is there a proper MS way of doing this.

Now I end up with this ordinal 56 error anytime I try to install a new copy of IE7 or any older IE. I also get the same error when I run installs for a number of other programs, or try to run numerous programs that I already have on my PC. What can I do to fix this? Is there a way to recreate the original iertutil.dll file as it should be? I cannot access system restore or last known good. I have tried svc /filerepair (no, this is not really what it was called, but it was something I read that said it restores the faulty system files from the XP Home SP2 disc), and that was to no avail. What am I to do? I am running Mozilla in the mean time. Please, anyone with a tip, let me know. I've tried everything I could find so far.

building up in the window that opens when you run MSCONFIG. Can someone
please tell me how to remove the lines I do not want to appear there? I
suspect that it is in the registery somewhere but I have searched and can
only find the "run" commands and deleting them does not remove them from the

The unchecked items will show up in one of these two registry keys.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupreg

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupfolder

You can manually delete them or run the script available from this web site to
automatically clear them up.
