I keep getting this error message that says "Windows cannot find ERROR/ERROR. Please type the name in again" Whenever I start up Windows. My comp then freezes shortly afterword and I'm forced to reboot. I'm using Vista 64 bit, please can anyone help me? I've tried downloading registry cleaning software, but the one I have right now (Error Nuker) is unable to fix all of the errors. -- Bluescreen Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com |

Error nuker might be the problem
Start - type in MSCONFIG in search box...... see what programs are in Startup. Uncheck what you are suspicious of. "Bluescreen" wrote in message ...

Tried that but it still crashes. Also it can't be Error Nuker since I got it after the problem started. -- Bluescreen Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com |

Boot into Safe Mode - create a new user and make it the
default. Does the problem go away? If so you have a program, service or unknown that is causing the error. OR your default user is corrupt. Make the new user an ADMIN just in case and use NO PASSWORD or a very easy one. You can delete this USER later. The below is for worst case issue in case you get locked out. http://www.computerworld.com/action/...8&pageNumber=2 Turning on the Administrator account is straightforward. First, open an elevated command prompt by typing cmd into the Search box on the Start menu, right-clicking the command prompt icon that appears at the top of the Start menu, then selecting Run as administrator . Then enter this command and press Enter: Net user administrator /active:yes From now on, the Administrator account will appear as an option on the Welcome screen, along with any user accounts you may have set up. Use it like any other account. Be aware that it won't have a password yet, so it's a good idea to set a password for it. If you want to disable the account and hide it, enter this command at an elevated command prompt and press Enter: Net user administrator /active:no AutoLogon - Start - Search - netplwiz Highlight User Name - Uncheck Users must enter a User Name and Password Provide Password when prompted or hit enter if no password "Bluescreen" wrote in message ...

Registry cleaning programs must be used with care to prevent them from causing more errors than they cure. Robert Miles |

I opened a new user and it seems to work just fine. I can't figure out whats causing the problems on my other account so I think I'll just start fresh with this one. I really appreciate all the Help guys! -- Bluescreen Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com |
