agt Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Hey every time I start up this laptop I get the attached error (twice) Then every now and again it'll pop up again. I've tried the registry optimisation and repair tools in TuneUp Utils, but it had no effect. Any ideas?

madnuke Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Deinstalled any problems lately by just deleting them or looking at it could be some spyware thats been deleted and still has registory entries.

brand Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Check out what you've got starting: run>msconfig>startup tab, or startup control panel. Something is trying to run regedit and merge a reg file; probably spyware, so follow what madnuke said. May I suggest Spybot Search & Destroy.

agt Posted March 11, 2006 Author Share Posted March 11, 2006 Mmm. I have scanned with Spybot, Adaware, and Windows Defender and it all comes up clean. I'll check the msconfig again next time I'm by that pc.
