Open c:\windows\win.ini with notepad. Do a search for `setup.exe' and delete it.

Hold on with altering your win.ini file.
It may be simply some "msconfig" entry.
"cannot load or run setup exe specfied in win.ini file"
What EXACTLY does that message say?

Hi Rob, Hank, Broni, hi everyone,

Start the computer to a Command Prompt Only.

At the C:\>type cd windows

At C:\Windows\>type edit win.ini press [Enter].

Post back with what is under [Windows]

Best Regards,
Mesich
