ArtGalry.EXE information box on my desk whenever I start

I am running Windows XP Home.  For several weeks now I get a window on my desktop screen whenever I start the computer.

Box title is C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Artgalry.exe

The message comes on - Artgalry .exe can perform several tasks and then goes on to list 3 of them

I have to close this box every time to spend using the PC

Is there a way I can stop this box appearing in the first place.

I use MSOffice2010 and I guess Artgalry can be part of that, so I'm reluctant to delete the file.

Previously, I was using MSOffice 1997 which is now deleted but I he asks me the problem could be associated with the change of MSOffice97 to MSOffice2010

Thanks Al

I also had this problem all of a sudden, after a reinstall full Windows XP on my laptop - it because a Microsoft security upgrade failed... grrrrrr.

Anyway, you can easily disable it as follows:

Go to start/run - type msconfig.

It allows the configuration utility - go to the STARTUP tab.

Scroll down from there - there should be an entry for 'Start of Office' with the value of the command is the path to the ARTGLRY. EXE file.

Simply uncheck the box, click on apply, and you're there.  You will need to reboot for the settings to take effect.

    It seems to be a left over Malware boot entry that was removed from your security programs.

    Download, install, update and scan your system with the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware:

    AdwCleaner is a program that finds and removes the Adware, toolbars, potentially unwanted programs (PUP) and browser hijackers from your computer.  Using AdwCleaner you can easily more of these types of programs for a better user experience on your computer delete and while browsing the web.

Everything started after I ran scan and scan deleted some files infected. However, I can use the system. Where and how to download the missing files? Or how the system does not deliver messages?

    Two of the three files are probably part of the malware infection and not the files infected. The third is probably the same details in this link:
    http://www.Runscanner.NET/file/Hkcmd.exe.html

    To identify what loads when you start using Autoruns (freeware from Microsoft).
    http://www.Microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/ProcessesAndThreads/Autoruns.mspx

    With Autoruns, you can deselect an item which disables startup, or you can click with the right button on an item, then remove it. If you clear the check box that you can check back for re - activate the element. It is an approach much safer than editing the registry and better than using msconfig. You will find the three points and they will have a description 'file is missing' against everyone. Your antivirus software has removed the files, but not the startup entries in the registry. All you need to do is delete the entry using Autoruns to eliminate the error messages.

    Another useful feature of the program is that you can click with the right button on an item and select search online to get information about the selected item.

    The Stop 0 x 24 message indicates that a problem has occurred in Ntfs.sys, the driver file that allows the system to read and write to NTFS file system drives. A message similar to Stop 0 x 23, exists for the file systems (FAT16 or FAT32) file allocation table to.

    Possible resolutions:

    1. hardware malfunctioning SCSI and Advanced Technology Attachment (ATA) or drivers can also adversely affect the ability of the system to read and write to disk, causing errors. If you use SCSI hard disks, check the wiring problems and ending between the SCSI controller and the disks. Periodically check Event Viewer for error messages that are associated with SCSI or FASTFAT in the journal system or Autochk in the application log.

    2. check that the tools that allows you to continuously monitor your system, such as virus scanners, programs of backup or disk defragmenters are compatible with Windows XP. Some drives and cards are issued with diagnostic software that you can use to run hardware tests.
