I keep getting this error after my laptop starts up that says:

"Could not access the local server"

I am on a stand alone computer, not hooked up to a
network, it is my personal office PC
I run Windows XP on an HP laptop

Any one have an idea why it keeps confusing me with
being connected to a network?

Thanks

Do you get this error after you log into windows? If yes, it could be a conflict with a program starting up that you don't need running in the background. If you know what are you doing you can simply click on start, then click on run, and then type in "msconfig" without the quotes.

Click on the startup tab and it will give you a list of program starting up. uncheck the ones that you don't need.

It's fine now. The error was occuring because there a remnant of the McAfee program still on the system. Once I deleted it, the problem was gone

Thanks
