    Wink Mystery Windows......... (Scooby Doo Where are you)

    Hrmm..
    Mystery popup windows...
    On booting up windows, b4 you enter into desktop And b4 the startup programs run..

    2 empty windows popup with nothing in them except a ok button...

    What could be the source of this?

    So far this is what i did.

    Cleansweep was deleted from registry.
    Startup programs removed.
    Registry Startup keys were removed.
    Win.ini Load= was removed.
    Ran Scandisk, Defrag, Win Dr...
    No device conflicts and system runs perfect except those stupid little boxes n startup....

    Any help would be appreciated..

    -Machine
    Any ideas?

    Try ditching Norton Systemworks. That does weird stuff in the background, I think. (Or mess with its settings. Is it doing anything at startup?

    System Works is the first to go when I repair a system...we call it PC Kevorkian around here. Norton has given us more business than most things.

    I totally agree.....the only thing I use that says Norton is the AntiVirus and its seem to do a good job.

    Exclamation

    let me guess its a compaq? if its a compaq its due to the orignal modem being removed, check the system.ini

    its been a while since i had to do it, but if you email me the win.ini i can tell you where its it.
