Hi,

Error message on start up
Hi I appreciate this was posted some time ago, but I have recently also had this problem on my new Dell Vostro 1000, running vista home premium. Exactly the same annoying error messages appear at start up and I have no idea why or where they have come from. Any ideas (other than removing Dell Support Centre, because a previous entry suggested this was of no use) would be very much appreciated!!. Regards MCM -- mcm |

You're posting from one of those websites that looks like a forum but is really just scraping Usenet posts. This means that because you didn't quote any of the previous messages in the thread, no one knows what "exactly the same annoying error messages" are. It would be far better if you set up a newsreader to access these groups (easy to do), and I'll give you information about that below. In the meantime, you need to provide full details about your problem so we can help you. See the "How to Post" section in the information below.

Error message on start up
Apologies. The error message is on start up of vista home basic (vostro 1000) *'Failed on loading skin name "minibcont" The file "shell.css" is required in your "sscommon/skins/minibcont/css/" directory' * Once clicked ok, the window comes up again which I have to close. This file is not located on my local disk. A previous entry online suggested removing the Dell support centre, but others say this didn't work for them. Hope this is enough info? -- mcm |

Things you could try: 1. Do a clean boot to see if something running at startup is failing. How to perform a clean boot in Vista and XP - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/331796 2. Contact Dell tech support and see if it is a known issue to them. Malke -- Elephant Boy Computers www.elephantboycomputers.com "Don't Panic!" MS-MVP Windows - Shell/User |

Hi Thanks for your reply. I ended up removing the DELL support centre after all and the error message has not reappeared, so it's possible that the two may have been related. Not quite sure why. Helpful for future reference, to know how to do a clean boot . MCM -- mcm |
