When logging into windows, I am now getting a message that reads "Windows cannot find 'copy'. Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start buttong, and then Search." I also get a system error sound bite whenever this problem occurs at log in. Thanks for any help!

It doesn't happen everytime, but it is happening at different times and isn't confined to one specific user log on...all the user names on my computer experience this problem.

PS--For some reason, the link above is a little squirrelly in my Firebird browser, bit okay in IE. Here's the straight URL:

Thanks solarian! I think this has fixed the problem...although I wasn't able to do everything it recommended, it seems to be working ok now!

All I have to Say is "Spybot-Search and Destroy" From download.com..I ran it, and haven't had a problem since. And it finds the registry entry, too..all you have to do is run it..and it's free, of course!

...and believe me..I was frustrated about this error!!
