Sunday, September 7, 2003 at 8:33 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Jim P (10 messages posted) You might want to check the "Event Logs" under the Event Viewer under System Tools in the Computer Management screen. That is available through Control Panel / Administrative Tools. The events logged at startup might give you a clue as to why the error message is popping up. And looking at the sequence of events for several startups might tell you what is happening when you click yes, as contrasted to when you click NO.
