What the frick...

Every time I boot up the laptop I get:

"Windowsapplication1 has encountered a problem and needs to close"

Annoying but seems to not be a problem otherwise. Anyone know the
cause?

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.

Jim, did you check your event viewer? In XP, it's in 'start',
'programs', 'administrative tools' 'event viewer. It info
should be at the top of the log, which log, I don't know.

You can clear the logs then reboot and check again.
That should help you narrow in of the cause.

Webroot reports that as some type of virus. But Windowsapplication1 is
a default name for a visual studio project exe.
I would run a virus scan , houseCall or MailwareBytes and see if they
detect it.

Yep. You have an application that's loading at boot that requires
dot.nyet 2.0, 3.0 or 3.5 or you machine is having a bad day trying
install yet another dot.nyet security update. Make sure you have all
the versions of dot.nyet installed. Use FrameworkDetect.exe to
determine what's installed:
http://frameworkdetector.codeplex.com/releases/view/43405
Also, run Windoze Update and make sure you have successfully installed
all the dot.nyet updates. If one or more dot.nyet updates refuse to
install, you're screwed. See below.

If dot.nyet parts and pieces are corrupted, come back and I'll supply
remove and reinstall instructions. It's a major time burner to
replace everything but it's the only way I've found that works every
time. You'll need to download the dot.nyet cleanup tool:

I had a problem with .net recently. I used the free version of Revo

Problem fixed.

Which Windoze OS are you running?

Version 1.0 is not needed if you have 1.1 installed. The problem with
the framework detect program is that it doesn't show if the installed
version are working correctly. The usual indication of a problem is
an inability to install dot.nyet updates. Go thee unto Windoze Update
and see if there are any dot.nyet updates waiting to install or
failing.

Also, I'm not sure if the problem is dot.nyet or a corrupted program
trying to run or update dot.nyet. Go back to the Admin Tools - Even
Viewer and look carefully at the error messages.

For control over what's strarting, download and run Autoruns:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx
Hopefully, it will show something under "run once" that is failing. If
that's the case, and there's nothing else obviously wrong with
dot.nyet, you can probably abandon trying to fix dot.nyet and work on
the failing program.

This message only appears at boot, and I don't know of any programs
balking. What programs need .NET anyway?

Plenty. Any gigantic program, that starts slower than a snail,
gobbles RAM like it grew on trees, crashes regularly, produces useless
error messages, and tends to be unstable, is a good candidate. For
example, Quickbooks, Turbot Tacks, IIS 7, Visual Studio, Windoze Media
Center, anything that uses C#, some network monitoring utilties, etc.

Congrats, nicely done. I would not have associated the error message
with that problem but it makes sense. Selective Startup is like safe
mode, where un-necessary services are not started. In that mode, the
dot.nyet libraries are not loaded, so any application that needs them
will complain.

Yep. Spybot asked for a scan after boot, which is what I think
provoked the message.
