I keep getting this error message after start up, any clues on what to do to get rid of it?
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
the easier way to fix the issue is: left click on start, in start search, type msconfig, hit enter, if you get a message obx, click continue. This will bring up the system configuration screen. Click the tab entitled "Startup". Scroll down to find the desktop agent tray entry. Unclick the check box by it. Hit Apply on the bottom. Then click ok. This will fix the issue. This is a program used by qwest to update their installer when setting up DSL and is not needed by you - the common user.
"Desktop Tray Agent" if you take a closer look at the error it will say something about qwest touchpoint agent. qwest touchpoint agent is like the updater of qwest installer. Just remove the qwest installer through add/remove programs and you should be good to go.
I did as you advised but it was already unchecked. Since I uninstalled Norton I have had no problem. Thank you. I'll remember this (hopefully) for future reference. Nenah
To get rid of the problem select run and type msconfig to open System Configuration window with several choice tabs. Select STARTUP and find DesktopAgentTray on the list. Uncheck it, apply settings, and restart pc. Thats it.
I removed Qwest Installer figuring I could always get another. I'll know more when I reboot. Nenah
