I am getting the error message
"34 program not found - skipping AUTOCHECK" during the boot cycle.
The system halts for about 20 - 30 seconds and then continues to boot and runs fine after that.
Can nay one tell me how to find out what program is supposedly missing?
Try disabling all the programs from the start up and see same error is faced or not. To disable all the startup programs, click on Start and select Run. Type MSconfig and hit enter. Click on Startup tab and remove the check marks from all the applications. Click on OK and reboot the system. If the system does not gives error while booting then enable the applications one by one at startup and check which application is giving problems.
Which is the operating system that you are using? Anyways, some of the system file has not been installed in your machine because of which the particular error is being encountered in your system. There is only one solution to get rid of this problem, that is to format the currently installed system files and reinstall a new copy operating system that you are using.
Well this problem only started here about 4 days ago and we been running the XP pro for 4 years. System boots through after a short pause. Tried shutting down everything in the Startup driectory but still received the error. Checked th edates on the Autocheck.exe file and the datre on ths sytem is newer than what is on the upgrade/install cd.
Many times this problem because of Virus attackes. Try entering "Safe Mode with Networking" so that nothing is running and have access to the network. Please scan your computer for malware. Revert back with the results. Till than i'll try to find some more solutions. :biggrin:
Have you tried using the sfc /scannow command and pressing enter in the run dialog box? You can also try to boot into the recovery console to run chkdsk /r. Or else better boot from the xp cd and choose install and when it says to press "R" to repair then do it. Check back afterwards whether you are getting same problem or not.
......you can use ccleaner to clean up the registry for unwanted entries and try restarting the m/c.....:whistling
If you are continuously getting this error then just wait to halt the system and when your system come up in normal mode then just execute the following command at command prompt
Or you can also move into cmd prompt (but login as admin user) and type:Code:Run chkdsk /r
Code:sfc /scannow
