Windows 7 - message about scripts on bootup?

MrDill · 11-10-2009

Hi this is probably not a windows 7 problem but has only arisen since I changed from Vista, when I switch on and log in , as soon as my desktop appears I get a message (attached) can't seem to get rid of it, maybe I'm missing something obvious here?

This is what I see

MrDill · 11-11-2009

yup but how do I get rid of it? tried lots of things but nothing succeds yet?

I'm not sure how to get rid of it, maybe someone else knows.

Here is an explaination of what a syntax error is:

It would appear that you have a browser or something set to initialize on boot, that is attempting to connect to that url. If that be the case, it must be opening to a saved session, or been closed with an open tab with that website open, or it is set as your home page. The problem is in your browser settings.

right thanks for that at least its pointing me in the right direction

Like the above poster seeker said about the browser starting on boot.

You may want to look in MSCONFIG and check the startup tab to see what starts up when you log on, also check SERVICES.MSC and see if there's any services running that shouldn't be there

been in all suggested locations and nothing out of the ordinary is obvious to me

If the browser is not set to start on boot, then something else is starting it. I don't know what, but that is what to look for.
