Hi Mick,
It sounds like this is a leftover from something that was installed,
but deleted and now it is being asked for because the registry entry
still exists.It's also called for at bootup,
which means,it's in the Startup\Run section of the registry.
You can do this several ways,
*Navigate to this entry in the Registry and delete it.
They are found in the following locations:
Registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices
Registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices
Startup Folders
c:\WINDOWS\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
c:\WINDOWS\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
Windows XP/2000
c:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
*You can also find this via msconfig under the Startup tab
this will stop this thing from startup or being asked for.
WIN.INI Load= and Run= lines.
In addition use Msconfig Cleanup
http://www.get-in-control.com/msconfig-cleanup/
Useful in other cases too.
*Use a startup manager,stop it and delete it.
The simplest is Startup CPL from Mike Lin
http://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml
but there are many (free) others.
In addition you should run an anti-malware program like eg
SuperAntiSpyware

Spybot S&D http://www.safer-networking.org/en/home/index.html
Ad-Aware http://www.lavasoftusa.com/products/ad_aware_free.php
There are many others
Do an Anti-Virus scan as well.
I'm sure this will resolve your problem.

Hello
Everytime I boot my XP Home Edition laptop I get 2 error messages. They
read like this:
First one:
Windows - Registry Recovery
One of the files containing the Systems Registry data had to be
recovered by use of a log or alternative copy. The recovery was succesful
Then this loads:
RUNDLL
Error loading C:\WINDOWS\system32\drvsas.dll
The specified module could not be found.
I've run registry scans that appeared to resolve 100's of errors except
this one
Any advice will be appreciated
Thanks ... Mick
