When I boot into XP I get the error message "Windows cannot find 'C:\WINDOWS\Config\csrss.exe'. I know it can't find it cause I deleted it. How do I stop that error message from popping up when I boot into XP?

why did you delete it? http://www.neuber.com/taskmanager/p... "If my answers frighten you then you should cease asking scary questions" - Jules Winnfield (Samuel L. Jackson) in Pulp Fiction

It was a virus.

You may have gotten rid of the malware, but you haven't gotten rid of the line that loads it yet. There is a legitimate csrss.exe on your computer, but that's not where it is located - it's supposed to be in C:\Windows\System32, and an identical copy in C:\Windows\System32\dllcache which is a hidden folder by default. Try this. Start - Run - type: msconfig, click OK or press Enter Click on the Startup tab. Look for a line that has C:\WINDOWS\Config\csrss.exe in it. If you see that, click on the checkmark at the beginning of the line to remove the checkmark, save settings. Try booting to see if the message no longer appears. When you use msconfig and make a change, the next time you boot you will see two System Configuration windows pop up while loading the desktop. If you don't want to make any further changes with msconfig, click on the small square box on the first one to insert a checkmark, then the second window will not appear, and after that neither window will appear while booting. If you don't insert a checkmark there, both System Configuration windows will appear every time you boot, until you do insert that checkmark. Close both windows by clicking on the X top right in each window if you don't want to mess with them.

Yea, I have already tried that. It's not in there.

Were you using an anti-malware program to do that, or did you just find out it was malware and deleted it otherwise? If you're handy and careful you could use Regedit to find and get rid of the line that loads C:\WINDOWS\Config\csrss.exe

I forgot all about Regedit. Was too busy packing. I just reformatted my computer and thought I was going to have to reformat again to remove it , but I was able to remove the csrss.exe entry in the windows logon. Thanks so much for everyones help.
