Can anyone help me with this

[jfall]

I tried posting this in Software and OS forums but I cannot get any replies.. since there is a lot more people in this area I figure someone might know what is going on..

Everytime I start up Windows XP professional a folder C:\PROGRAM is displayed in full screen.. there is nothing in this folder. I have deleted the folder and it still pops up when I restart the computer. This is what I have done so far:

1. Ran an up-to-date virus scanner, didn't find anything.
2. Ran the latest version of ad-aware.. didn't find anything
3. Tried deleting the folder and restarting, it just comes back.
4. I check my Start > Programs > Startup folder.. nothing in there.
5. Checked startup items in MSconfig, nothing in there that I think would cause this, I only have a select few things on startup.
6. I have not installed any software lately.. just the Project IGI 2 multiplayer test and a script called dccassist for MIRC.. I uninstalled Project IGI and still nothing.

Does anyone have any idea what this could be or how I can find out what is doing it?

Here is a list of what I have selected to startup in MSconfig:

Nerocheck
Sisusbrg
Rundll32
nwiz
cthelper
updreg
adgjdet
rundll32 cmicnfg
Autosizer
msnmsgr
StyleXP
Adobe Gamma Loader

run "regedit"

Go to
"My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

See if something nutty made its way there.

I think you have a huge virus, it's called WinXP...

Humm.. not much in there really, can't see it causing this anyways:

Cmaudio - rundll32 cmicnfg.cpl,cmictrlwnd
Jet Detection - c:\program files\creatiive\sblive\program\adgjdet.exe
NeroCheck - c:\windows\system32\nerocheck.exe
NVCPLdaemon - rundll32.exe nvqtwk,nvcpldaemon initalize
nwiz - nwiz.exe /install
SISuSBRG - c:\windows\sisusbrg.exe
UpdReg - c:\windows\updreg.exe
Windvdpatch - Cthelper.exe

nevermind.. lol, I got it

I tried running all the stuff that was listed there and when I ran the Jet Detection - c:\program files\creatiive\sblive\program\adgjdet.exe sure enough it opened a folder called c:\program .. weird, never would of guessed that. Does anyone know what this adgjdet.exe is suppose to do?

Thanks for the registry info!

It detects if you plug something new into the output jacks. For instance, it turns off the rear speaker output if you attach headphones. See a ways down the page here.

Rename the file to something different (like, make the file adgjdet.exe.old) and that way it won't be able to find the file and therefore won't be able to run...I had the same problem with a faulty Mcafee install and doing that fixed the problem.

Actually, the problem is with the link that you are launching. If you try to run:
c:\program files\creatiive\sblive\program\adgjdet.exe

from a DOS prompt, it will try to run "c:\program" with "files\creative\sblive\program\adgjdet.exe" as the first argument. You need to type:
"c:\program files\creative\sblive\program\adgjdet.exe"

from the DOS prompt to launch the program. That might not be the entry that is causing the problem, since it still appeared when you unchecked it. There might be another entry in your list that has this problem. Look for occurrences of "program files" and make sure the commands are enclosed in quotes, or replace with the 8.3 version of progra~1.

Yep. Put the path in quotation marks.
