The exact wording which now apeears on my screen on re=start is:
'Autocheck programme not found - skipping AUTOCHECK'
Which means my machine is still trying to start autocheck each time it starts.

Ran CHKSDK with the (disk):/f option on e partition affected, that cleared the command to run it at startup. It worked I don't know why.

I need a fix for my c drive. I get a message that comes from the toolbar at the bottom. It says msn.exe-corrupt file. The file directory c: is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the chkdsk utility. I did that and finally found your solution to shut the chkdsk off, I hope it works. My question is how do I now fix that error message. My computer will no longer play video when I am online and I need that for school.

I had this autocheck autochk * when I opened register and one of diskkept checking every time

i had chkdsk checking every time on boot i came here and did all the steps and got to the edit reg and the bootexecute autocheck already had an * so what do i do not to get it to stop????

autocheck autochk /r \??\C:
autocheck autochk /r \??\E:
autocheck autochk *

autocheck autochk /k:D *
THE ABOVE IS MY BOOTEXEC. ANY SUGGESTIONS AS TO WHAT TO CHANGE SINCE I HAVE NO COMMAND STRINGS WITH THE /P OPTION? THANK YOU IN ADVANCE

Anybody know why when I boot up everytime I get the message, "Checking file system on C: the type of file system is NTFS - the volume is dirty. Chdsk is verifying" and then it goes through stage 1 of 3, stage 2 of 3, and then stage 3 of three checks. It takes several minutes of booting up because of this.

Hi Leo, I carefully read your answer to the question, "How do I keep CHKDSK from running on every start-up?" but none of the answers exactly applied to me. This is what my error says: "Checking file system on C: the type of file system is NTFS - the volume is dirty. Chdsk is verifying" and then it goes through stage 1 of 3, stage 2 of 3, and then stage 3 of three checks." Naturally, it takes longer than average to boot up.

Just wanted you to know that I seriously tried and am not being lazy 'cuz I know you are a busy man.

Leo, you are a 'God Send'......I have been struggling for weeks with this issue and have googled many a site to find the solution and then I found this answer and it worked. It simply worked. Thanks for your clear and consise answer, I was able to have my computer (once again) start without going through the CHKDSK check every time I started it up.....thanks. For a (relative)newbie it was so simple and easy to follow.....thanks a million.
Thanks again for all your help
