get rid of something on screen

When i boot-up before i log in this comes up on the the screen dont know how it got there and dont know what it is for.

bpq th b08.exe-application error
The application failed to initialize properly
Click ok to terminate the application
ok
I have to click ok then the box dissapears then i log into tiscali.
HELP as it is most annoying :confused:

 

Not sure the programme - but all that error message means is that one of your programmes that starts up, on computer start up is glitching.

If you can find the programme - which should show on your start up list, then uninstall it and reinstall it and that should clear the problem.

Occassionally my Norton protections prevents one of my start up programmes from running, but if I need it, I just run it after the computer has booted up.

 

its more than likely a program that you have uninstalled recently or a spyware program that has now been unable to access the internet and is trying to get out on the startup proceedure.

go to start......run........then type in msconfig....then hit enter key or click OK.

here you can allow programs access at startup or not..........go to startup TAB at top of the dialog box......here you will see a list of programs that startup when you switch your computer on..........also this is where a lot of physical memory and resources are chewed up on the computer.......LOOK for the program that has the end extension "b08.exe".....then untick the box and click OK..........all done. also it will ask you to reboot your computer, please do so. then it should disapear when it reboots.

 

thanks you guys i am not doing it tonight to much drink will do it tommorow

 

Glad you are taking notice Nate

Rosa, if you type the name of the program into Google, it will sometimes tell you what the program is and what it does. ie it might tell you if the program is a friend or a foe.

 

just done that from the start and that application error is still there on the screen when i re-booted up :confused:

 

I recently have had microsoft outlook installed noticed it after that, The guy that did it for me he noticed it and he couldnt get rid of it

 

it looks like spyware Rosa........have you got an antispyware program.
also check add and remove to see if that program is there.........but my guess is spyware....

 

I have norton through tiscali will they have spyware through that as i just recently had it put on.

 

the best anti spware programs available are

Spybot search and destroy

and adaware .

download these and see if they make a difference.

 

I typed it into google and got into more bother i ended up with this max thing downloaded and the noise it made like a siren going off, i was on the phone to my daughter and it came on the screen and the noise, my daughter asked what on earth that noise was when i told her what i had done she just laughed, I have deleted it off my computer as i could not be having that all the time.
Thanks pc medic will try that knowing me i will end up doing something wrong

 

forgot to mention at the top i noticed it had said Hp error
