    Sys Config Utility
    Tells me every time I boot that "The S.C.U. is currently in diagnostic or Select startup mode". No it is not. It is in normal mode. I select the check box and start again, sometimes. Still comes up. I run msconfig.exe. It is in Normal mode. The message still comes up. What is going on and what do I have to do to get rid of this annoyance?

    Do you have a dual-boot system? If so, the msconfig utility has to be in Selective Mode to successfully run both OS's. If you don't have dual boot, there's a registry setting that might prevent the warnings.

    NOTE: I am not responsible for any damage you may do to your computer by editing the Registry.

    1. Click Start > Run > and type "regedit" (without quotes)
    2. Click the little + beside HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
    3. Click the + beside SOFTWARE
    4. Click the + beside Microsoft
    5. Click the + beside Windows
    6. Click the + beside CurrentVersion
    7. Click Run (don't use the little +)
    8. Look for a key called "Msconfig Reminder" or similar, and delete it by right clicking it and selecting Delete
    9. Restart your PC

    If that doesn't help, I don't know what will :)

    Hope this helps

    Thanks for the idea.
    There was no key called msconfig reminder or similar.
    I guess I'll stay confused.
