Before or after after logon? Does is display more information, for example which file file it cannot find?
Even after doing a clean boot? Troubleshoot Application Conflicts by Performing a Clean Startup
I followed the directions above doing aup clean startup and didn't get my error msg. I noticed in start up two programs that probably were a possible problem. One was connected to Sweet Packs toolbar. I unchecked and when I started normally no message. Thank you for the assistance. rosemere
