April Tip problem. (Maybe?)

[MP1975]

I've been here several times before and you guys and gals are the greatest and have helped everytime. My girlfriends daughter has a major issue and I will be back when I have full details.

Here's my reason for this post.  While perusing around here I tried the April tip and changing my boot.ini from 1 to 2. As usual the information was dead center and my PC booted in record time the only thing is I received a System message. It's as follows ;

You have used the system configuration utility to make changes to the way windows starts.

The system configuration utility is currently in diagnostic or selective start up mode, causing
this message to be displayed and the utility to run everytime Windows starts.

Choose the normal start up mode on the general tab to start windows normally and undo the
changes you made using the system configuration utility.

Don't show this message or launch the system configuration utility when windows starts.


It "SOUNDS" , to me anyway, if I check this box it Will no longer run the utility or enable my computer to run so fast.

Thanks in advance,
MP.

Wait, exactly what did you change in the Boot.ini file?

What Operating System?

In the april tips it says to go to start, run, msconfig boot.ini where it says multi go to anvanced and change 1 to 2. Thats pretty close but I can't remember word for word. I did follow the instructions line for line. I rebooted and it was lighteming fast then that banner popped up.

 Click Start and Run (for XP) and type: msconfig and press enter. 
 Click the BOOT.INI or BOOT tab.
XP users highlight the line beginning with "multi" if not already selected and click the Advanced Options button.
In the Advanced Options Window for /NUMPROC= or Number of Processors change it to 2.
Reboot the computer.

This will help you better and i AM RUNNING xp.

Thanks,

Ah ok, the monthly tip.

In MSCONFIG, on the general tab, make sure Normal Setup is checked.

The numproc area greyed out, if you know what I mean, but it still seems to be a lot faster then before and no more message.

Thanks a mill.
