    question Error with changing the startup programs

    Hello everyone,

    I am getting an error whenever i am start my system and login to thr admin account. Attached the error with this post. One thing noticed is that after i've started getting this error, i could not access the "Change Startup Programs" option in the Control Panel > Programs. whenever i am clickng on that "Change Startup Programs", i am getting the same error.

    I have last changed my startup programs yesterday, diabling nokia pc suite n yahoo messenger as startup programs. after that, i've installed windows live applications. Is it anyway linked to that? My OS is Vista Home Premium SP1

    Please help me out on this issue.

    Re: Error with changing the startup programs

    You can see a list of blocked programs and services by following these steps:
    1. Click the Blocked startup programs icon that is in the notification area.

    2. Point to the Run blocked program menu list. The programs and services that have been blocked from starting are located here.

    To know which method you should try to solve your problem, decide which of the following actions you want to take:

    Method 1: Run the blocked program or the blocked service
    After Windows Vista starts, you can run any blocked programs or blocked services by following these steps:

    1. Click the Blocked startup programs icon that is in the notification area.
    2. Point to Run blocked program, and then click the program or the service in the list that you want to start.
    • If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password, or click Continue.


    Method 2: Disable the blocked program or the blocked service
    To disable a program or a service during the Windows Vista startup process, follow these steps:

    1. Click the Blocked startup programs icon that is in the notification area.
    2. Click Show or remove blocked startup programs. This starts Software Explorer in Windows Defender.
    3. Locate, and then click to select the startup program or the startup service that is in Software Explorer.
    4. Click Disable, and then click Yes in the confirmation dialog box.

    Method 3: Remove the blocked program or the blocked service from the startup process
    To remove a program or a service from the startup process completely, try to use the Programs and Features item in Control Panel. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Click Start button, type appwiz.cpl in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER.
    2. Click the program in the Programs and Features list, and then click Uninstall/Change.
    If you cannot remove the program by using the Programs and Features item in Control Panel, you can remove the program from the startup process by using Software Explorer. To do this, follow these steps:
    1. Click the Blocked startup programs icon that is in the notification area.
    2. Click Show or remove blocked startup programs. This starts Software Explorer in Windows Defender.
    3. Locate, and then click to select the startup program or the startup service that is in Software Explorer.
    4. Click Remove, and then click Yes in the confirmation dialog box.
