Solved Constant System Configuration Message at Startup

[Injust]

Hey,

I've made some changes to my startup configuration in MSCONFIG.
(BTW, I'm running Windows Vista 32-bit on this computer, not my original rig)
But now, every time I start my computer, I get this message.

I always check the box for "never show this message again", but it doesn't work.

Plz help, thanks!

Have you attempted resetting the configuration as suggested in the error message? What setting did you change in your msconfig?

 

[Injust]

I just disabled some programs that started and some unnecessary services.

Does Windows boot normally? What were these programs and services which were disabled?

Please post a screenshot.

Thanks,

Yup, Windows boots awesome

I can't post screenshot, because the MSCONFIG window doesn't maximize, so not everything could be shown in the screenshot.

So, PROGRAMS.
Brother Status Monitor Application
ControlCenter

SERVICES
Remote Access Auto Connection Manager
Remote Access Connection Manager
Remote Registry
Smart Card
Smart Card Removal Policy
Windows Backup
Windows Defender
Parental Controls
Windows CardSpace
Tablet PC Input Service
ReadyBoost

I would change the settings back for now, and from your system specifications, your system seems to be purchased from a retailer, therefore I would recommend removing all the third-party software which can corrupt your system.

From my first message, this is not my original rig, this is another rig of mine.
Custom built, completely installed by myself with NO crapware

Do these services and programs even make any difference with the startup performance?

 

[Injust]

Not that noticeably, but the programs I've disabled used to keep nagging me at startup about how my printer was disconnected (I keep my printer off unless I use it).

 

[x BlueRobot]

Did they pop up from the system tray?

 

[Injust]

Yup.

 

[x BlueRobot]

Then just hide the icon and notification, and it won't bother you anymore, just drop a post if you don't know how to hide notifications from the system tray.

 

[Injust]

I've tried hiding them, they just pop back up.
It's not the ICON I wanna hide, it's the MESSAGES and the POPUPS

 

[x BlueRobot]

Did you change the setting to this? (See Screenshot)

 

[Injust]

I have Windows VISTA, not my original 7 rig.
I'm just temporarily using this computer until I can decrypt my Truecrypt-system-wide-encrypted hard drive and repair a corrupted part.

 

[x BlueRobot]

I know, but the settings should be the same or very similar to Windows 7, are you accessing the system tray?

 

[Injust]

Yeah, but it doesn't work

I'd prefer it if you could help me find a solution to the MSCONFIG message instead of switching back to Normal boot mode T.T

Just my 2 cents :S

(And yes, I luv using emotes )

 

[x BlueRobot]

I've got one last idea, why don't you revert the settings back to the original in msconfig, and then use a third-program such as CCleaner (see my sig) to disable the start-up programs, then maybe you won't get the error message.

The tutorial outlines how to disable the programs using CCleaner.

Hope this helps,

Been there, done that
Well, at least it looks like the pop-up message doesn't appear anymore
Marking as solved.

Just a reminder.
I highly recommend not messing with Windows Services.
I'm curious what all these P S TT and what knots are.
