paganinio Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 I encountered 'C:\Document can't be found' error at XP startup, I saw a blue screen(color of my desktop) and the dialog, I didn't see taskbar or anything else. I clicked OK and there's nothing unusual. Is this caused by virus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

insanekiwi Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 either use a program like startupcpl or use run/cmd and type msconfig and then goto the systemstart/boot tab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

embassy Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 This could happen if your 'My Documents' folder has been changed to C:\documents. Go to My Documents, and if all your files are gone then thats the problem. If they haven't gone, then it's something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazebee_ Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 if msconfig doesn't work, check the registry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrike Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 it could be a DOS formatting thing too. Like instead of a dir path being C:\Documents and Settings, it is C:\DOCUME~1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue` Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 it could be a DOS formatting thing too.Like instead of a dir path being C:\Documents and Settings, it is C:\DOCUME~1 Yeah, either this or its trying to look inside C:\Documents and Settings\...... Ive noticed with mIRC in particular, when trying to load a script say, and its located in Program Files\mIRC, if you dont quote the line it says it cant find C:\Program... So look for something with C:\Documents and Settings and maybe quote it... For mIRC its like this:- /load -rs C:\Program Files\mIRC\Scripts\SystemInfo.ini -----> returns the cant fine C:\Program error So you do this instead:- /load -rs "C:\Program Files\mIRC\Scripts\SystemInfo.ini" and it works :) I think some apps just dont like spaces in folder names :) :whistle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
