Computers 101

Q:
When I start Windows, I get an error message saying that it can't find a file. I click OK and everything seems alright. How do I get rid of that annoying message?

A:
This has to be one of our most frequently asked questions.

Probably what has happened is you've uninstalled something that normally loaded when you started Windows. The program is gone, but there is still a reference to it floating around somewhere.

Now, you can go hunting through your autoexec bat, registry, startup menu, and your "ini" files to locate the program reference and get rid of it. However, the "down and dirty" way to do it is to use msconfig (win98 or higher).

Click your Start button, Run. Type in "msconfig" (no quotes) and hit OK.



Click the Startup tab and try to locate the program that is causing the error message. Usually if you look at the end of the "Command" column you can find the file name that Windows claims it can't find. Once located, just uncheck it and hit OK.

Oh, note that if you can't see the end of the command line, you can expand the size of the column (digital elastic ;-). Just hover your mouse over the boundary between the columns and drag it over.

Make sure you pay attention to what you're unchecking so if you uncheck the wrong item, you can go back and re-check it if necessary.

Once you're done, reboot and see if that error message is gone.

Tip of the Day

Launching Multiple Programs

Have you ever needed to launch multiple programs? Normally, you hit the Start button, Programs, then select the program you want to run. Once that one starts, you go back through and repeat the process for the next program. Well, here's a better way.

Next time you need to launch more than one program from your Programs menu, hold down your SHIFT key while you click the program's icon. The application will launch, but you won't lose the Programs menu and have to start all over.

So many tricks, so little time.

Amanda's Cool Site of the Day

Run Rabbit Run

Run Rabbit Run : an Egg-Citing Adventure. This is a neat little game not for the faint of heart. You have to face evil bunnies, and boulders to save your Easter eggs so that you can deliver them before the children wake up for Easter morning.

A nifty little Flash game full of bunny fun, but can you make it on the high score board. You use your arrow keys to drive the Easter bunny towards her eggs. And there is a map to show you where the eggs are, where the evil bunnies are, and where the boulders are. Enjoy!
