Your info on sasnative32.exe made me realize that it had been installed by Systweak's Advanced System Protector. I've had that disabled and have been searching off and on for the longest time, fearing it was something malicious. All I could find was fear-mongering and offers to sell questionable programs. Yours was the ONLY informative post I found anywhere on the web. Thanks much!

Thanks very much for providing this informative site. I too had a skip autocheck not finding sasnative32 which is left behind after an uninstall of ASO as described by "bem" above.
If you have or want to rid yourself of the check window you can use Autoruns, by systeminternals, available from

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx

if you run the program and choose the Bootexecute tab after the scan has finished, you can disable the annoying window at startup.

Hope this is of help.
Thanks,

Thanks BobFriendly, I used autoruns and removed the autocheck. It took 5 seconds. I am keeping the program for any other annoyances.

At (before)startup (in XP) I was getting a message "sasnative32 not found skipping autocheck". I found a copy of sasnative32 on a old backup - installed it - and no more messages. But what is it? Is it a MicroSoft file? Is it a problem? Is it slowing my computer down? Should my computer work without it?
Thanks
