I just installed TrackFree on my Windows 95 computer yesterday. Now whenever I login my computer has a little screen that pops up and says "Windows is now setting up the following items:" and then nothing else after that is said, but it takes my wallpaper and switches it to the gray Compaq wallpaper. I have checked the startup folder to make sure there isnt anything in there that would cause this. Can anyone help me with this problem?
Thank you!

Win 95 has trouble with new applications vs the resources it can handle, especially at startup.
Did you go to the start menu, Run, and type in msconfig, go to the tab for startup and see if the application is in there, if so uncheck it.
One of the first things to load is the wallpaper so this software is in conflict with that startup procedure. I believe if you changed it to start when you want it to this problem will fix itself. Keep me posted if this works. I have other ideas you can try.Kim

First of all the msconfig is not supported in Windows 95, I get an error that it can not find that file. Also I actually fixed this problem by installing a program from the following website www.mlin.net/startupCPB.shtml and ran a few programs fromthere and disabled the one that changed my wallpaper.
Thanks for trying to help though!
