138614 2003-04-24 23:03:00 Thats caused by the quicktime program being uninstalled and leaving **** behind.

Run msconfig and disable the redundent entry in the start-up.

138615 2003-04-24 23:07:00 Got more info.

Seems this can also be caused by watching media files off a cd or a zip drive.

this is the fix i found on another forrum for if you still have quicktime installed.

The Fix: Fire up QuickTime (double click on the icon in your systray); Select "File > OpenRecent > ClearMenu". This will clear the most recently viewed files and eliminate the boot-time error message without requiring you to uninstall QT or remove the icon from your systray.

138616 2003-04-24 23:10:00 qttask.exe is the program Quick Time. Try this: Start > Run > Msconfig > Startup tab. Scroll down and remove the tick beside qqtask. Click Apply and OK. Reboot the PC and see if the message has gone. When the PC reboots into Windows, you will see a message about using Selective Startup, just tick the box about "do not display this message again" and then Click OK.
