When I run msconfig, it shows that Selective Startup is selected. I click on Normal Startup - but as soon as I select "OK", it reverts back to Selective Startup. Thank you.
Hello Nisko, :)
This is normal.
Having the two items checked below under "Selective startup" is essentially the same as having "Normal startup" selected.
OK, thank you. But it seems odd that I cannot select normal startup as an option. I performed a clean boot and Normal Startup was selected when I ran msconfig - now I can't get it back. Also, under certain conditions, there is a black square inside the "Load System Services" check box - and sometimes there is a check mark. Plz explain.
Yeah, "Normal startup" is selected by default, but it won't remain selected after any change is made.
It is still a "Normal startup" though with those two items checked under "Selective startup".
Under msconfig, there is a selection named "Load System Services." I know what the checkbox is for. What I'm trying to say is: sometimes I can get a checkmark in the box - and sometimes I get a smaller black (filled in) box inside the checkbox. I think it's strange - but the difference must mean something.
