Windows problem...

Rikard_OHF · 11-03-2001, 01:19 PM

alright this is my problem
I used to have a program called wscript.exe
and it opened all the time
so if you press ctrl+alt+del you would see it was opend about 60 times
Somehow i was able to remove it but it still keeps on trying to start
So i keep on seeing messeges that windows can't find it
How can i prevent this?

Was this .exe a virus?

But It is according to me

if you have win98

start -> run -> write msconfig

If you have w2k/nt/xp you need to download msconfig from ms website.

msconfig is a neat little program where you can decide what programs start up then you boot, from here just uncross the mark that says that your program should start.

Hmm yes indeed it is a neat program... I have encountered it several times and I believe it has saved my ass the same nuber of times!

Although if you cannot see the prob... oh well tough luck [img]smile.gif[/img]

Ummm..... AmakakeruRyuNoHirameki a.k.a. Bahamut your name is a bit long, could you perhaps shorten it?

Rikard_OHF · 11-03-2001, 02:06 PM

it's not in the start up folder so where is it?

MILAMBER · 11-03-2001, 02:45 PM

If you don't feel like downloading it, you can go to regedit and do a search for run. Then delete references to this program in the run folder.

no the program wscript is not in the start up folder of msconfig
