Whenever I restart my computer, I aways get the follow message. Runner Error Runner error file name(compaq connections.exe) lacks a -_- (the app id separator) When I click ok, everything is fine. However this pops up every time I restart. Any idea how to stop this from happening? Thanks.

go to start/run/type msconfig
A box will open…….Look for selective sartup and place a check…….
Then at the top click on the startup tab…….
Remove the check mark by Compaq Connections that way the computer won't recognize Compaq at start-up
And while your there look at other items not needed for startup and remove those…..
Information on items loading at startup can be found here,,,,
StartupList Index…@CastleCops

Or you can search individual entry's at google…..

Then at the bottom of the msconfig box click on apply……..then OK
You'll have to reboot for things to take affect….
When you reboot a window will open saying changes have been made…….click on the small box…..don't show this again and close.
