Hi Rock,
Thanks! For your swift reply. I did tried the 2 links you gave me and it didn't work.
Actually I've no problem in booting except a small popup windows always reminded me to
go to that URL which is obsolete now.

Can you tell me actually where in Registry I can look for that error message mentioned
below. Can I delete from there? Thanks! --- Rino

Then a clean boot using the info from the links I gave you should also
be clean and by activating things one at a time you should be able to
identify the culprit.

Also you can run Windows XP Startup Program Tracker from Kelly's site:

Rock,
Thanks, it's work! I used Windows XP Startup Program Tracker from Kelly's site. It
identified the culprit as CouponAndOffers.exe and I deleted the whole folder in Windows
Explorer at C:\Program Files. I clicked that culprit file and sure the same error
message appeared. Now I can gives more love to my Computer again ;o) Regards, ---
