Post subject: error on windows xp home startup
Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windowsxp>basics (more info?)

Hi

On my notebook computer I get an errror each time I start up (I am using
windows xp home). This error comes in a dilaog box with a red circle and
white X on the left hand side.

The error reads

"Windows cannot find '/idlist,:520:1592,'. Make sure you typed the name
correctly, and then try again. to search for a file, click the start button
and then click search".

I can click OK to close this box - but it should not occur. I have nothing
in the start-up group on my menus. The windows explorer is opening up
automatically to my documents.

The 1592 bit seems to change each time I reboot.

Any assistance appreciated.

Thanks

Doug

Alan,

Sorry, but I didn't find that helpful. I am not very confident with
msconfig - is there potential to damage my computer?

I see no possible way you can do damage.
If you uncheck something then you can always recheck it.
If in doubt, do nothing and get a second opinion here.

Check in Msconfig.
(Start-Run-MSCONFIG-Startup tab)
If you cannot see anything in Msconfig then:

Start-Run-msinfo32
Click the + beside Software Environment to expand.
Click Startup Programs
Ctrl+A to Select All, Ctrl+C to Copy.
Paste that information in your message.

Hi,

If you stick to the startup tab, you will not run into trouble. Nothing
there is required by the system on boot, it's all optional. Deselecting
(unchecking) boxes will put you in selective startup mode, this is normal.

Download Hijack this, run it, save a copy of the log file and cut and paste
it back here to the group so that I can analyze it.

Thanks to Alan,Rick and PcButts.

I was thinking that there was something happening in the background like
that.

I did a series of system restores and found that the problem was with some
spyware.

I'll still run the hyjack routine and post here anyway as there maybe
something i missed.

Cheers

Pcbutts

Thanks again for your help.


The only change that I made to my computer between the last fix and
this one is the plugging in of a HP USB keyboard. Is it possible that
this could be the cause? I only bought the keyboard at the computer
market on Saturday.

I will try the fix that you suggest and repost the hyjack log.

Thanks

But its back again this morning - no reason - no web surfing - notbook was
turned off - just no reason apart from that they are loading by themselves.


Ad-aware found two tracking cookies - doug.DeleteThis@imrworldwide.co,/cgi-bin and
doug.DeleteThis@doubleclick.net

could these be causing the problems?

I quarateened these before - and they just come back.

cheers

Doug

You have what I like to call a stubborn one. Run this but be warned it will
clean out all temp files, cookies, MRU's, prefetch, bak, search history, web

Alan

Thanks for your response.

I think that you maybe right about the msconfig solution. I am not a
complete novice - i am a programmer by trade - but I generally dont
touch this part of the system. So I am a little reluctant to do things
that i can't reverse out from.

I think that i may have a bad registry entry due to a hp usb keyboard
driver, or alternatively due to the intel wireless chip driver not
working properly. But that is speculation on my part.

I'll post the output from the msinfo32 file tonight - if you dont mind
having a look.

Additionally, I noticed that my network drives were not mapped
correctly - but i thought that this may have been more to do with the
system restore taking the machine back in time rather than any malware.

Thanks again

Doug

Doug (or Godon) or whomever.

You can reverse anything you uncheck in Msconfig.
The idlist error is very (in fact, extremely) likely due to an Intel
wireless chip driver.
