Finally got my new PC, and spent most of yesterday configuring it and loading up software.

Now when I start it up, a window called "Program" pops up. I think this happens when a program install didn't work properly, and the PC is hunting for something it can't find. ( I checked that the option to re-start XP with any open windows on shutdown re-opened on startup was disabled )

Any suggestions on the best way of tracking down and fixing this? This is my first taste of XP, I'm not sure I want to try out the "system restore" option, I don't know much about this yet. I'd prefer not re-do the hours I spent in setting everything up. [img]graemlins/cat3.gif[/img]

System specs:
Pentium 4, 2.8
2 Gig DDR2700 RAM
DVD ROM
120 Gig HD
Asus FX5600 Ultra
Soundblaster Audigy 2 Platinum
Windows XP Home

TIA ( Thanks in advance !! ) Pang.
