Selective Startup
My father recently installed Norton Internet Security. He then had Comcast
Broadband internet run to his computer, along with the software to run it. Now everything runs slowly, and a box pops up after a reboot, that is titled "System Configuration Utility." The message in the box says, "You are using the selective startup for troubleshooting your system." Does anyone know how to correct this problem? |

Selective Startup
The message in the box says, "You
are using the selective startup for troubleshooting your system." Does anyone know how to correct this problem? This message means that you have an unchecked entry in the Startup tab of MSConfig (The System Configuration Utility you mention). This is only a problem if you haven't unchecked any items, however in most cases items have been intentionally unchecked so as to prevent them being launched each time you boot the PC. All you need do is click the box to acknowledge the message and not to display it again (until next you use MSConfig). -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP klatu wrote: My father recently installed Norton Internet Security.

Selective Startup
In English, you have to go to Start, Run, Type Msconfig,
and go back to Normal Startup if all the boxes in the Selective Startup are checked. My tech guy unclicked one of the boxes to check something there and I was getting the message until we went back and changed it. -----Original Message----- The message in the box says, "You are using the selective startup for troubleshooting your system."

Selective Startup
Many users intentionally have unchecked entries in MSConfig | Startup. They
do not need to do as you suggest, instead they simply need to check the box to acknowledge they are in selective startup and they will not see the message again, or at least not until after they next use MSConfig. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP Cathe wrote: In English, you have to go to Start, Run, Type Msconfig, and go back to Normal Startup if all the boxes in the Selective Startup are checked.

Selective Startup
English maybe but IMO the content was bad advice.
The problem with Cathe's post was that s/he appeared to be saying that running with selective startup was a problem that needed to be corrected and that the user should use MSConfig and check all the boxes to go back to Normal startup. Selective Startup is NOT a problem and often what the user intended. Thus all they need to do is check the box to acknowledge they are using selective startup so as not to see it again until they next use MSConfig. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP heirloom wrote: Sounded like English to me, Mike.........I mean, you are from England, right?
