both above links point to the same page.
an unintentional mistake ?
or an intentional joke !

attempt the registry stuff only if u r comfy with it. else just try using tune-up utilities. perhaps it'l help u. i had the same problem once...it just went away....

I had the same problem in Windows 98. Install an Autopatcher n see if it helps u (hope it will).
