We show how to disable troublesome programs using a Windows tool
If you get errors every time Windows starts up, there's probably a program running when Windows starts that's causing the error.
The MSCONFIG tool allows you to see which programs run every time Windows starts and disable any that you do not want.
Our video shows how to run MSCONFIG and disable a program. Remember to only ever disable one program at a time, and take great care when choosing - disabling the wrong one could prevent Windows from starting altogether.
