edit: the title says "Allows".. I ment "Allways"
My buddy has a computer that he uses for Ebay business. For the past 4-5 months he has had this same error come up on the Windows XP Pro start-up. It appears in that "blue dos" like area that is also used for running XP's scandisk on the next restart and such. (Partition magic also uses it to partition hardrives)
Anyways, the message reads something like: "SystemRoot\Windows\System32\AutoChk.exe failed to start"
Anyone know how to kill an error like this?
I've already done the following:
Virus Scan with Norton 2005: Latest Definitions: Latest Version
AdAware Scan: Latest Definitions: Latest Version
Spybot Search and Destroy scan: Latest Definitions
Registry Error Scan in TuneUp Utilities: Latest Version and Updates
Defrag with Perfect Disk: Latest Version (Diskeeper refused to install for some reason)
Windows Updates: Latest XP Fixes and such
Windows Washer Wash: Latest version (heh, worth a try I suppose)
ehh that's about it.
Now there's obviously something else I could try (Besides Format for now..), so hopefully someone could help one out.
I'd greatly appreciate it
