As to your item 5 in your earlier post today:
-- uncheck those 3 items on the startup page of msconfig.
-- then open regedit and go to:
» HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupreg
» HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupfolder
and there delete the sub-keys for the same 3 items.
Close regedit, and those 3 items should be gone from the startup page of msconfig
on the next reboot.
Deleted the 2 reg keys I mentioned in step 1A of my post at 8:46 am on October
27, 2005, if not already deleted? If hesitant to do so, back-up those keys first
by exporting them to a convenient location. (No need to reply.)
I continue to feel that the WINNT directory should be unnecessary for your computer
to work properly and given this last experience, is a good candidate for deletion,
as I had expressed in a prior post. If you could find a way to back it up, even
piece-meal on CDs, I'd be inclined to do so (unless you do a clean install as I favor
as you know).
Btw, of the 4 files (folders?) that you listed as questionable
in your WINNT directory (Crystal, Minidump, MUI, and Software Distribution), Minidump
and MUI are OK.
Yes, the MicroTrend on-line AV system scan usually is slow.
No other recommendations except what I said in my post on Thursday, October 27,
2005 at 10:31 am.
