I have a question about What to do about error messages during Windows startup:

when I start up windows i get error message "cannot find script file c:\windows\fonts\ttfloads.vbs".i think it had a virus and got deleted.where can i find this file for download?

Peter,
The file you mentioned is not a normal Windows file. It is probably being called 
upon on boot up because your config.sys or autoexec.bat files were modified.
Boot to DOS Type CD:\ and hit enter to ensure you are at a command prompt that should 
look like this C:\>
Type edit config.sys and hit enter and search the file for a reference to the file 
you mentioned. If found either delete the line or add a semicolon ; at the very beginning.
Do the same for autoexec.bat. save and reboot.
Good luck.

I did not figure it out. Perhaps if someone knows how to get to DOS from windows ME i could figure it out. But so far no luck.

What you need to do is edit registry and remove following entry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\ CURRENTVERSION\RUN\TTFLOAD,WSCRIPT.EXE (Assuming you removed virus) As you know, take extreme caution when editing registry...

I went into the registry and deleted the entry, but the message is still there when I started up the machine. What else can I try to do?

on windows ME, you go to run on the start menu. run "regedit" and you can delete the registry entry.

I get a similar message \\.\viexpcs (2/x2) and then a message stating "Reinstall Software". I am using XP. How do I fix this problem and what is the cause?
