Thank you, Andy and Bob. I am sure all the cacaware I cleaned off had something to do with it. I will get it fixed tonight.

This usually means the autoexec.nt file has been deleted or corrupted. The file's batch commands look pretty generic. I usually just replace the file with a copy from another XP computer. Usually from the same version of XP to be safe. But like I said, it's pretty generic looking, so a copy from any version of XP most likely should/would/[appears to :) ] work. Or you might look in the Windows\repair folder to see if there exists a copy that is usable. The file can be edited with any "text editor" to check for any irregularities in the commands. The default XP autoexec.nt file can also be extracted to that folder from any source containing the XP installation files. > She used to play this game on her computer, but it stopped > about 2 months ago. > > This system was loaded with spyware and the like.

BTW that's the same error displayed when the WinPatrol installer does not find that file in that folder. :) Some cacaware will delete or edit that file upon installing. Which is how I most frequently run across this error... while cleaning out cacaware infestations. -- ---------------------------------------- ALL messages to the list MUST include a descriptive subject.
