Strange, I cannot find that file named anywhere after searching on Google - which has had a 99% success rate in finding such things in the past. I did find adptif.dll which is related to your network communications. Can you double check that it is definately saying adptiff55,exe You have one f in the title and t f's in the text, which is it?

For the Internet Sweeper, best to uninstall the program and re-installing it to try and fix. You could also try running an registry optimising program which should also help in sorting out any problems

intel

Ok have you got any programs that you have installed lately but uninstalled aswell
and have you got any programs that sre not working properly, or do you recognise the file name yourself ie.

adptiff55.exe = adaptec something or other as I cant find that file.

still no listing for that file

download Ace Utilities from www.acelogix.com and let it fix any problems it finds, this should fix any invalid links to files that do not exist any more

Try and find out where it's being loaded.

If you want to stop the error;

Click Start, Run, then type MSCONFIG .

Click Startup Tab, Uncheck the box next to the program/file casuing the error. CLick Apply, Click OK, restart.

Should clear the error. I strongly recomend against using registory cleaners unless you know the exact file location and what it does!

Yeh msconfig is handy for stuff like that sorry I forgot to mention it earlier
as good old supanet was removed from start up via this way, years ago.
