Default [Fixed] Windows error at startup autochk.exe skipping check...HELP!

Ok recently when I start up or restart my computer after the windows loads (windows XP home) a blue windows screen comes saying
windows/system32/autochk.exe not found, skipping check.
Then after about 2 seconds the login screen comes and I can login to windows...

I do not know what the problem is, I checked that directory and autochk.exe was there in system32 folder in WONDOWS in C:// :huh:
I did a system restore to a time where this messege did not accure and that didnt change anything...Could you guys help?
:cry:

Hello Ali,


One Of the things that may have happen is autocheck.exe is a file, and files can go bad. if you have your XP disc around you can copy and paste a new file from the cd onto you windows folder. i've done this befoore and you will take care of the problem.

Howdy ALi2005,
Can you try booting up with your XP cd in and pressing R when it ask then type this in..

chkdsk /r notcie the space between the k and the slash/ this should replace the missing file

I tryed copy and pasting autochk.exe from the cd to system 32 and rebooted and it still came...
I pressed "r" at reboot and it goes in system recovery where it gives you reformatting options...
Messege still comes
