Start the computer by using a clean-boot procedure

Use the appropriate method for your version of Microsoft Windows.

Microsoft Windows XP

For more information about how to clean boot in Windows XP, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

310353 How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" state

Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition

1. Click Start, click Run, type msconfig in the Open box, and then click OK.
2. On the General tab, click Selective startup.
3. Click to clear all of the check boxes under Selective startup.
4. On the Startup tab, click to select the *StateMgr check box.

When you are prompted to restart the computer, click Yes. After the computer restarts, Click Start, click Run, type msconfig in the Open box, and then click OK.

Important Examine the General tab to make sure that the check boxes that you cleared are still cleared. If none of the check boxes are selected, proceed to the next method. If you see a selected, unavailable check box (it appears dimmed and has a check mark in it), your computer is not truly clean-booted and you may require assistance from the manufacturer of the program that is listed next to the selected, unavailable check box.

Microsoft Windows 98

1. Click Start, click Run, type msconfig.exe in the Open box, and then click OK.
2. On the General tab, click Selective Startup, and then click to clear the following check boxes:
