When you get error 2718 it usually happens at start up. You will get several windows popping up with  error2718. Some of them may ask you for a disk. The windows will specify what program they want the disk for. This error is usually generated after the improper or incomplete installation of a program that has parts that try to initialize during start up.

Fixing Error 2718

There are a couple things  you can do to be rid of this problem. The first one, also the easiest one, is to go into start up and remove the program from the list of startup tasks.

To remove the program from the list of startup tasks just:

• Go to Start on the lower left hand side of your desktop
• Go to Run
• Type in “msconfig” (without the quotation marks)
• Go to the Start Up tab
• Find the listing for the program that is giving you the errors, you may have to look at where the file is located to know which file you need to remove.
• Remove the check box for that file
• Reboot

If that doesn’t fix your problem, you are looking at a registry error.

Registry Errors 101

Understanding what a registry error is can be easy, but there is a wide variety of them. Simply put, a registry error is any error in the core programming code of your Windows operating system. Registry errors can vary from corrupt files, to missing files, to shortcuts to programs you uninstalled.

In years gone by, you would have to go into the registry manually and look for the problem yourself. The problem with that was that not only did it take hours, but if you didn’t know what you were doing, you could easily turn your computer into a paperweight. I know professionals that would rather just reinstall Windows than deal with the registry.

Today we have registry cleaners. Registry cleaners are programs that are designed to seek out and fix errors in your registry in a matter of minutes. These programs are good for finding corrupt or missing files and fixing them, removing empty registry keys, removing links to programs that are no longer there, fixing system crashes and hangs, and fixing blue screen errors.
