A bit of a hand please

Got this on startup of my laptop, I had installed a s/w accelerator, realised it was pants and took it off, since then I get this qualifier, it goes after 30 seconds or I can just hit ok.

"This computer is in manual policy mode, but the policy file cannot be found. Windows is logging you on without applying any policy. Return value (2)."

:confused:

I am running Win 2k pro...

Thanks in advance......
 
Hi,

Try this:

Run MSCONFIG --> startup tab

Check all entries against --> http://startup.iamnotageek.com/

Hopefully you'll find the program that is giving you the problem.

Hi Salvador

Thanks for that, however msconfig doesn't work in Win 2k :(

Any more ideas?

Thanks :)

I apologise if this doesn't work, cannot remember win2000 registry layout

run "regedit"

goto HKEY Current user
goto software
goto microsoft
goto windows
goto current version
goto run & run once & delete the references to the program

& then same again with HKEY Local Machine
 
Hi

Thanks for that, however I coudn't see anything amiss, this qualifier actually comes up as windows is applying my personal settings and before the GUI actually starts......

Its not like this is a big problem for me, but its an annoynce....

Thanks

Thanks for that Mel, had a go, no difference, I think I will just leave it, not really getting anywhere, the first one is for Win98, and the second is written in Microsoft speak, and therefore clear as mud lol. Thanks everyone for the ideas.
