Annoying Error Message

To enable a full diagnostic, please provide the following:

1. Application and System event logs in Event Viewer (Start --> Run --> eventvwr.msc)
2. Hard Disk Management view (Start --> Run --> diskmgmt.msc)
3. Startup Item List under System Configuration Utility (Start --> Run --> msconfig) [OR] Startup Programs in Software Environment of System Information (Start --> Run --> msinfo32)
4. Running Tasks in Task Manager (CTRL+ALT+DEL) [OR] Running Tasks in Software Environment of System Information

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I did a little more digging. I don't like the looks of your event logs, chief. Lots of errors going on in there!

You're using Windows XP SP1, am I right? If so, you may want to consider updating to Service Pack 2. I recommend a clean install via slipstream.

I noticed you deactivated your Norton antivirus software. Why?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Glad to help, though I now feel rather embarassed accusing you of disabling Norton, when it's just plain old Nvidia (nwiz, nvcpl)

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
