Ryand833, you mentioned that you suspected that the change in registry value maybe due to a virus? I was wondering how you may have acquired that virus, and how do you know that you've removed it. Because I ran both NOD32 and Norton both not yielding any positive identification. I"ve noticed a few odd startup items which I've managed to remove successfully along with the registry values that you've mentioned above. Again if anyone suspects that this is a virus, please share your account of the situation. Thanks.
I'm not really sure when or how I got it, but my theory is that whatever it was, my virus scanner/adware/etc. program removed the bad csrss.exe from C:\WINDOWS\Config but didn't bother fixing the registry entry.
I just happened to notice the message once when booting up (I don't reboot very often), and decided to investigate.

Thanks guys,
I also had the same prob with "Explorer.exe C:\WINDOWS\Config\csrss.exe". I think leftover from clearing trojans and viruses last night.

encountered the same pop up error during windows startup for more than 3 months already.
thought of reinstallation my system already.....but just after following Ryand833's intructions, error was gone.... =)
just a simple registry editting. it worked!
thanks RyanD.
