Every time i startup my machine, add/remove programmes opens automatically. It keeps opening on the page where i set program access and defaults. I use the custom option as i often use non microsoft versions of programmes. is this why it keeps opening up? Is it trying to get me to change my mind? how to i stop it opening up automatically as it is slowing my computer down! and it only started a week or two ago for no reason i can see. Thanks.

settings you have? This may give an indication of what is causing the problem. Also, have you tried setting things back to automatic, to see if the dialog box goes away? I would set each custom setting one at a time and reboot, to see if there is ONE program in particular that may be causing the problem:)

Thanks, i gave it a go. I put everything back to windows settings and it still opened up when i rebooted. And no matter what combinations i try it still opens up. My custom settings are firefox instead of internet explorer and winamp instead of windows media player. tis very odd.
