541971	2007-04-18 00:37:00	Am running p4-2.53 & Windows 2000 pro. Shortly after boot up I get a error msg the system can't find hotplug.dll hotplug is where its should be and un-corrupted. I do not have any usb plugable peripherals. Frequently I get a "boot disk" error but this appears false as hitting enter and the machine re-boots OK. Very occasionally I have to use the emergency repair diskette to do a repair of windows. Does anyone have any idea what the matter is and how I can fix it permamently. TIA phil.	jupiter1 (2578)

Repair the dll and it should leave you alone as there'll be nothing to need it and it'll stay quiet. It may be a prefetch-type thing or set to run at startup as a default, and it looks for things...so you may not have any control of it running or not. It's just a part of XP and I think it's in a SP for 2000 too. You'll need it someday...or so Mr. Bill thinks anyway. You might be able to stop it's starting at boot time by using the Tools in Spybot S&D and toggle it off. Read this: www.dllinformation.com	SurferJoe46 (51)
