is it a pop-up? I have had pop-ups that look like registry errors that are very realistic. You can tell by mousing over them. In my experience i sometimes get registry errors whilst booting, but windows fixes them automatically. I have never had one during normal running.

It's a web page pop-up. Forget about it.

looks like a popup from some spyware/adware/virus/trogan thats installed its self on your PC, try to fool you into actioning something... Been lookin at to much porn... lol.

Have you got Spybot or Adaware installed?

If your on MSN after say 9:30 I might be on MSN and could log on to your pc and fix it.

Be carefull some pop ups come from programs (spyware/adware) that are running on your computer. Windows does noy fix them automatically (it fixes damaged files and some things but not all registry errors), they its probably another spyware/adware program lieing to you. You best fix is spybot or adaware, becareful as there are even programs that claim to fixe these and remove them to install there own.

Thats what I thought. Keep getting popups while I am browsing.

Don't know what you mean. :oops:

Adaware - but it doesn't seem to be picking it up.

If your on MSN after say 9:30 I might be on MSN and could log on to your pc and fix it.

Should be. I'll have my moby on. Give me a bell or a text.

Yeah what I meant with me is it says one of the registry files had an error and so a back-up was used when booting windows. Nothing to worry about.

The English isn't quite right. M$, while being 'mercan, at least spend money and time on getting the language right. It's a trap to infect your PC.
