Need a little PC help, please

Everytime I start up my pc, I window pops up that saysloading photogallery. I have to cancel it 3 or more times. If I let it run its course it says I have Error # 1706. I ran RegCure and it didnt help at all. Anyone have any advice on this? Thanks, Gregg

Re: Need a little PC help, please

What program is it? Its some program that is set to run at start up, but has obviously become corrupted. Is the program name photogallery? Uninstall it.

Otherwise, we'll need to change the programs that start at start-up. Don't worry, though, its not too hard to do this .

Since we want to make a permenant change, I don't recommend using the built-in tool, MSCONFIG. It'll beech at you about the change you made, I hate it.

I guess the easiest way is just to use the built-in tool in Spybot. I hope you already have Spybot to scan for spyware; if not, its a free download. You can look it up in Google.

So now that you have spybot, just go to the top, click "mode," click on "advanced." Click yes to the notice. Now, on the left side, go to the bottom of that column. You'll see a button with a + by it, that says "tools." Click on that, go to startup. See what you can find regarding that app, and its also a good idea to check all the entries to see if there's anything you don't recognize or don't want starting up at start up.

hope that helps...

yup . Spybot is a scan program, so it doesn't run all the time like I think AVG does (I've never used AVG antispyware so I'm not sure). There's no harm with having more than one anti-spyware prog... in fact, a lot of people do it like that. Scan with one, then scan with the other.

Re: Need a little PC help, please

I would try out the msconfig first. Most likely, this photogallery thing is loading when windows starts, but the needed file has been removed. Look in msconfig, and remove that.

no luck with the spybot or the msconfig. Oh well, Its not that big of a deal to just cancel it out when I start up. Thanks for all the advice!!

go to MajorGeeks.com - Download Freeware and Shareware Computer Utilities.

free progs-- Spybot Search and Destroy, SpywareBlaster, yea they can run at the same time, and are compatiable with AVG.

If you can't prevent it from loading, just right click your toolbar for taskmanager, look at the processes, and shut it down from there. I have several autostart progs I shut down that way, if I am not going to use it for my logged on session. Keep us updated if you need more help.

I also highly recommend Lexun RegScrubXP 3.25... easy to use, safe.. works great!
