MS CONFIG, NEED HELP!

[mark31580]

HEY GUYS.
I HAVE WINDOWS XP HOME. I RECENTLY WAS PLAYING WITH THE START UP TAB IN MS CONFIG, HOPING TO ACHIEVE FASTER BOOT-UPS AND LESS CRASHES.  ALTHOUGH EVERYTHING IS RUNNING MUCH SMOOTHER SINCE, WHEN I BOOT UP, THE WINDOWS UTILITY MANAGER WINDOW POPS UP AND INSTRUCTS ME TO CHANGE BACK TO THE STANDARD START UP. AGAIN, EVERYTHING IS RUNNING FINE, CAN ANYONE EXPLAIN THIS? I'VE CHECKED NUMEROUS FORUMS AND NO-ONE SEEMS TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM EXCEPT ME, OF COURSE. THANX FOR THE HELP, NOT A COMPUTER EXPERT.

When you say "utility manager" are you referring to Start>All Programs>Accessories>Accessibility>Utility Manager?

After you remove startup items from MSCONFIG, the next time you boot up you'll get a message saying that the startup routine has been changed. You need to put a check in the box that says "Do not alert me" at the bottom of that message.
