Everytime I start up I get this message. "One of the files containing the systems registry data had to be recovered by use of a log or alternate copy. The recovery was sucessful."
I tried registry recover program but still get it. Not sure what to do. I'm running windows XP.

Thanks

When did this problem start? If just in the last couple days, try using System Restore to a date before the problem started.

My problem started about 4 weeks ago give or take.

What was this registry recovery thing you ran?

I am not familiar with this problem myself, and plugging your error message into Google has some fixing it by deleting ntuser.dat files, some by formatting and reinstalling, some by replacing RAM, and 1 by replacing the drive. I'm inclined to go with the ntuser.dat method but you might want to wait a bit and see if anyone else has something to contribute.

For sure, I would back up any critical data you don't want to lose as soon as possible.
