So every time I turn on my computer I get a dialog box that says: "Running Error " And something about an error in the BACKWEB id number....

Anybody know what this is, if it is any risk, or how to fix it...?

THANKS!!!!!

I get three random dialog boxes every time I turn my computer on. Just hit 'ok' and they'll be gone until next time you boot up. :wink:

I suggest you run Adaware or Spybot, it sounds like some sort of spyware/adware thing.


You can get them both for free, go to download.com

:shock: maybe i will get adaware. spybot is just congratulating me on being spy free by plying me with champagne.

Q. After running Spybot, I now get a small window with the following message whenever I start my computer: Runner error. Invalid backweb application id 137903. What does this mean and how do I get rid of it?

BackWeb is a generic downloading tool used by various software companies that incorporate it to download data such as product updates. BackWeb is capable of collecting information from your PC and delivering it to the collection site. Whenever you connect to the Internet, BackWeb also connects to retrieve advertisements, which are then displayed on your browser as popups. Here's how to get rid of it: Try uninstalling using Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel. If there does not appear to be an uninstall program, try C:\program files\BackWeb\ and remove this directory. Run MSCONFIG (Start, Run, type MSCONFIG), check the Startup tab and disable anything related to BackWeb. Look for any .EXE file starting with BackWeb and delete it.

When I do the MSCONFIG thing.....this is the only thing that looks like it may be related.....should I delete it...?

Start up Item: Updates from HP

Command: C:\Progra~1\UPDATE~1\137903\Program\BACKWE~1.EXE -startup

Im not saying that IS the problem...Im obviously not incredibly computer savvy....but I always like to be sure...it may or may not be a problem, but Id check it out....

All i know is if you see one that says you have a KERNELL problem (or something like that) its bad....
