"I recently uninstalled a program I believe it was a cybermedia program
such as unistaller or First Aid 97, using the windows explorer to do the
deed.  I realize I should have used unintall programs from the control
panel, but alas, it is too late.  Now I get a message on startup (that
stops the boot process until I click anykey).  This message informs me
that certain files that are needed to run an application or windows are
missing and that the system.ini and/or system registry refers to these
files, but cannot find them.  So, it continues, either reinstall the
program, or the entries in sys.ini or the registry."

Been there, done that.  Try this, and it involves a little bit of hacking of
the registry:

1.    Click on the Windows Start button
2.    Go to RUN
3.    Type REGEDIT and click the OK button
4.    Press the Plus sign next to the following folders:
        HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
        SYSTEM
        Current Control Set
        Services
        VxD
5.    Delete the CyberKrn folder
6.    Exit the registry editor

Restart the computer, and this will correct the message you are getting.

Hope this helps and sorry for this post is so late getting to you.
