When I first startup my computer it says INVALID BOOT FILE, then continues and works fine a couple seconds later. Anyone know why this is or how to fix it? Thanks for the help.
go to start, run, type msconfig, go to boot.ini, click check all boot paths and if it comes back with an error, clic yes to remove the invalid entry.
-----------------------------
go to start -> run
type "boot.ini"
that will let you modify your boot file
-------------------------------------------------
^ you can not access the boot.ini file this way...
thats your problem right there. You are supposed to have the tab. Lets see what we can do to fix it. When you start MSCONFIG.EXE (System Configuration utility), the BOOT.INI tab which usually appears, may be missing.
This may simply be a file permissions issue. You can verify that by typing C:\Boot.ini in Start, Run dialog. If you get Access Denied or similar error, that explains the problem.
