RESOLUTION

WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

For information about how to edit the registry, view the "Changing Keys and Values" Help topic in Registry Editor (Regedit.exe) or the "Add and Delete Information in the Registry" and "Edit Registry Data" Help topics in Regedt32.exe. Note that you should back up the registry before you edit it. If you are running Windows NT, you should also update your Emergency Repair Disk (ERD).

To resolve this problem, modify the BootExecute registry value to start the Autochk tool when restarting your computer:

1. Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).



2. Locate the BootExecute value under the following registry key:




HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Session Manager

3. On the Edit menu, click Multi String, type "autocheck autochk" "autochk /x D:", and then click OK.
   
   NOTE: The default value is the single string "autocheck autochk *".



4. Quit Registry Editor.
