Hi, I need some help with a strange message that keeps appearing. I downloaded Yahoo Messenger which I have now uninstalled and since installing itI keep getting a strange message in a box that says "could not access network location %appdata%\. Also I tried opening I tunes and it says the same even after re downloading it from Apple the box comes up. I open outlook and same thing, printer same thing, driving me mad.. any ideas would be very welcome. Thanks

Try to remove the link from startup programs. Start Run and type in MSCONFIG. Click Startup tab and uncheck the little box of the link that refers to Yahoo Messenger. Regards SuatCINI

Hi Thanks for the advice, I did all you said and Yahoo was not under the startup tab, so I am lost. Incidentally when I now type an address in Outlook that would have come up there are none there. Also If I rename a folder and then enter it wont keep the new name, just reverts back to new folder. Lastly when I close outlook it says some weird message. Itunes wont open and I cant uninstall it.. I am lost! My question now is if I save all my files to an external hard drive can I rebuild it..? If so any idea how I do this? I am not a very computer literate person. It is an HP Desktop only 1 year old.. Thanks

Download Autoruns from Microsoft and run it. This is a zipped file. Unzip it and then run autoruns.exe. This will list all the programs that start with Windows, some of which are not listed in MSCONFIG/Startup tab. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/... Inspect all the items in the list and uncheck what is not wanted. Regards SuatCINI
