Try doing an update of some of the windows components - it may help (Control Panel, add remove programs, add/remove windows components)

There's no such thing as a system32 file in XP Pro. There is a SYSTEM32 folder, however. Are you sure you're telling us the whole story? What do you mean by "Making My COmputer Really Stange?"

OK THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I LOG ON IN SCRIPT TERMS
Msgbox X "Windows cannot find 'D:\WINDOWS\System32\system32.exe'.
Make sure you typed the name correctly, and
then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button,
and then click Search." ,6, "D:\WINDOWS\System32/system32.exe"

In Non Script Terms This Is What Happens:
Windows cannot find 'D:\WINDOWS\System32\system32.exe'.
Make sure you typed the name correctly, and
then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button,
and then click Search. D:\WINDOWS\System32/system32.exe

Therefore Either A Program Is Looking For The System32 File
Or Is Has Been Corrupted Or Missing

I No That Windows Xp Has A Different ITF From Other 9x/2k Based OS However Im Sure It Still Has A System32.exe file
ANYWAY this error message coming up is hell annoying and has slowwed my system down dramactically
loggin in used to be 2secs
nows in 1-2minutes

I do have a norton antivirus 2003 virus scanner
and a zone alarm fire
this only started happening just a few weeks ago
i could remove the start msgbox however the logon process will still be slow please HELP

Sorry that I cant help you with this particular issue. I too would get that error on my roommate's computer that uses an AMD processor. What is your opinion on your AMD processor? Our's using an Abit mobo and we have lockup issues, very touchy and needs serious tweaking, but I learned from some forums that Abit boards are not the best made which could be causing our issues. I want to build a gaming puter to complement the other but afraid to trust AMD vs. other processors. It's fast but the glichy problems are too frustrating, you satisfied with yours?

Look for these Registry entries:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
SYSTEM32 = C:\Windows\SYSTEM32.exe
or
SYSTEM32 = C:\Winnt\SYSTEM32.exe

If found, you have a virus.

No Mate i Dont Have That But I Have Instead
In RUNservices SystemSAS system32.exe as a REG_SZ
But Just In Run Is Advanced Tools Check,com32, and NvCplDaemon, nwiz , however the other i now they are for my startup program but norton has detected 8-10 viruses after downloading from kazaa but removed them all successfully
so i dont think i got a virus
and my computer boots up quicker now after i got a driver update via windowsupdates.microsoft.com
however the error above still occurs
Thanks

You've got a fucking virus:

The keys added to the registry, according to the file depend on the version of the worm:

Tanked.11:(W32/P2P.Tanked--This is probably the one)

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
SystemSAS = system32.exe

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices
SystemSAS = system32.exe
