Computer Usage Columns - Tip Off Incomplete installation
Whenever I start my system in Win 98, I get the following message: `Please wait while setup updates your configuration files. This may take a few minutes... Completed updating your files." Earlier, this message used to appear when I installed something that required a system restart to activate. But now it appears for no reason. And when I try to install software such as Internet Explorer 6, I get the following message: "A previous installation has pending work requiring a reboot. You need to restart your computer before installing." I've used registry cleaners, spyware software, scandisk to check and clean the system but this still happens. Please suggest a solution.
Antony Meyn Please restart your system once into safe mode and then boot it normally and see if the issue is resolved. If this does not help, then you need to do some registry edit. Please click on Start - Run -{gt} type in regedit and press enter. In the register editor, navigate to the following location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager Now click on the key "PendingFileRenameOperations" and delete any value in it, close regedit and restart the system.
