I need help with my computer everytime I start windows before anything loads onto my desktop a message comes up Cannot find the file "fntldr.exe" etc. then I click OK then another one comes up Could not load or run "fntldr.exe" specified in the WIN.INI.file etc. and I have done CWShredder and it says everything is fine then I scanned Spybot S&D and it said everything is fine and Hijackthis I haven't quite learned to use it yet but If someone could please help me with this I would appreciate it.

Run a hijack scan and post the log in a reply.
