When I run Vista I get the following message, even if it seems to work OK

"osCheck has stopped working" what do I do?

A quick Google for "osCheck" tells me that this file belongs to Norton Antivirus.

You can stop from running at startup or, better yet, uninstall Norton and get something much better. I recommend NOD32 (commercial) or Avast 9free).

Start Orb > Search box > type: msconfig and when it appears in the results area above, right-click and choose 'run as administrator '.

If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue. Find osCheck under the Startup tab, and then clear the check box. You don't need to restart immediately, but next time you do, you will get a dialog box saying that you have used the utility. Usually in Vista it will be blocked by Windows Defender and you will need to enable it so you can then check the box that says in effect, "don't mind to this subject again".

Important - do not use the System Configuration utility to stop the process. Instead, use the Services.

Start Orb > Search box > type: services and when it appears in the area of results above, made a right click and choose 'run as administrator '. Confirm the elevation necessary.

The free Autoruns program is very useful for managing your Startup - http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/default.mspx MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - Don ' t Panic!
