right before windows xp is initialized i receive this command: invalid boot.ini file booting from c:/windows i've noticed since i got this message that the items under all programs in my start menu have "shifted" to the right in a sense that i can no longer see part of the items' names. i have not altered my monitor's dimension size nor do i wish too. i am unsure if the two incidents are linked and have not encountered any other problems YET. could someone please advise me on the situation and clear up any confusion on the current matter at hand.
