My computer is receiving messages upon start-up. One of the messages has to do with "common/microsoft shared/ink is corrupt"
What do I do?

Try running Vista Diagnostics utility to see if you have faulty Memory. Click on the link below.

You can try reseating your RAM, or removing a stick and trying different configurations.

Also faulty graphics cards can cause error messages on start-up (sometimes the monitor appears to be functioning normally).
