When I startup, I get the message: Windows cannot find 'C:\Program'. How can
I fix this?

Melody, have you uninstalled any programs recently?

This seems as if you (or some poorly-programmed application) attempted
to put something in the Startup folder and didn't put quote marks around
the path to the application.

For example, Apple's QuickTime puts a program named qttask.exe in the
startup folder. If this program is located in

C:\Program Files\Quick Time

the "target" of the shortcut should be

"C:\Program Files\Quick Time\qttask.exe"

If the quote marks were left off, Windows parses the target address and
stops at the first space, thus looking for C:\Program -- which doesn't
exist.

Take a look in your startup folder and check the "properties" of the
items found there. If these all look OK, you'll have to dig deeper.

Click Start > Run > and type "msconfig" (without the quotes) (click OK)

Check the startup items listed, and see if any of them has an incorrect
address as described above.
