when I reboot my comp and try to start windows it takes about 1 or 2 minutes before it shows the desktop. this one error is in the event viewer. apprently one of the services isnt running:
The mrtRate service failed to start due to the following error:
The system cannot find the file specified.
umm I looked in the services but couldnt figure out what the heck mrtRate was. Anyone has a clue? is this a known service?:rolleyes:
Which one of these do you have installed on your computer or have uninstalled recently?
Quicken
Quickbooks
Earthlink.....
If its one of the Quicken/Quickbooks, they have a fix on their site.
If its Earthlink(total access) back up your registry and kill this key:
H_KEY_Local_Machine\system\services\
CurrentControlSet\VxD\mrtRate...
If its none of the above.......carry on.
heh yeah its quicken
I'll take a look at their site
hmm this is getting on my nerves
apparently the issue was because of quicken 2000 but I have the 2004 version. Anyways I found two solutions on their site, none of which worked. I also uninstalled/reinstalled quicken, but still the same problem...
isnt this supposed to be a service which shows us in the windows services list?
Not sure what you mean here...If "us" is supposed to be "up" then I do...Quote:

I would just take it out of the start up path [msconfig\startup] or [regedit], then see if you get the error when you start Quicken.
yeah I ment "up"...Quote:

It's not in startup, etc. it's a windows service and I cant figure out which service it is:D
mrtRate is NOT a windows service
hmm sorry about the confusion:)Quote:

If you look in my first post, the event log called it the mrtRate "service" so thats why I was thinking that its a service.
I have nothing in startup or registry, etc (checking the startup apps with system Mechanic, and there is nothing besides the apps that I added on my own). So I dont know why the heck does windows look for mrtRate during startup :confused:
