Note: If you change any startup setting through MSCONfig, the following message may appear the next time you log on to the computer:
"You have used the System Configuration Utility to change the way Windows starts. The System Configuration Utility is currently in Diagnostic or Selective Startup mode, causing this message to be displayed and the utility to run every time Windows starts. Choose the Normal Startup mode on the General tab to start Windows normally and undo the changes you made using the System Configuration Utility."
- Make sure the Do not show this message again is checked, and then click OK.
- When the error does not appear anymore, select a check box to test if that is the item that is causing the problem. Repeat until the error reappears to validate the problem startup item.
Note: If you are doing this because the computer is running slow, remember that the higher the number of items being initiated upon startup, the slower the computer performs.
