popup screen on startup

golfnut65 · Oct 2, 2007

I have Win XP home, SP2.......
This weekend I downloaded the latest security issues from Microsoft update.
Since then, when I boot up and it gets to the blue Windows start screen and then a pop up window appears with a couple of ASCII characters. If I click on the OK button, it boots up fine the rest of the way. I never had that issue before though!! What is that window? How can I get rid of it? A couple time I could see @&$*^*/system32/msxml3.dll in the title bar.

Maybe it isn't properly registered.
Try this

To register MSXML 3.0
1. From the Start menu, click Run.
2. Enter the following command:
regsvr32 %windir%\system32\msxml3.dll
3. Click OK.

If the registration is successful, you should see a message box that reads similar to the following:
DllRegisterServer in C:\WINDOWS\system32\msxml3.dll succeeded.
Click to expand...
