The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q177285 SYMPTOMS
When you view the Startup tab in the System Configuration Utility tool,
you may see duplicate check box entries.
CAUSE
This problem can occur if you reinstall or upgrade Windows 98 while items
on the Startup tab are disabled.
RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, click each check box to select it on the
Startup tab before you upgrade or reinstall Windows 98.
MORE INFORMATION
The System Configuration Utility tool (Msconfig.exe) automates the routine
troubleshooting steps that Microsoft Technical Support engineers use when
diagnosing issues with your Windows 98 configuration. You can use this
tool to modify the system configuration through a process of elimination
with check boxes, reducing the risk of typing errors previously associated
with Notepad and System Configuration Editor.
Using the System Configuration Utility tool, you can isolate the specific
file entry that is causing the problem. Once the specific file entry that
is causing the problem is determined, you should edit the appropriate
file or registry entry to remove this entry and return the System
Configuration Utility to Normal Startup.
System Configuration Utility can also create a backup copy of your system
files before you begin a troubleshooting session. Create backup copies of
your system files to ensure that the modifications made during your
troubleshooting session can be reversed.
NOTE: You may notice two entries for LoadPowerProfile, since it runs
twice. This is by design.
