Hi Charles,
First, a point of clarification: Are you running Regclean 4.1,
or the new version, 4.1A, which was released in late December, 1997?
If you're running the old version, be sure to try the latest one and do
read the readme file.
Check the following files in your C:\WINDOWS folder:
system.ini
win.ini
You can edit both files with a simple text editor, or just right-click
in Explorer and use Wordpad to edit from there.
What you will be looking for is any references to a program that
has been Removed or Deleted, an erroneous reference to a program that
you do have installed, or something else that looks out-of-place.
If you do find something that looks out-of-place but are not sure
whether to delete the suspect line, please Post a followup.
You can play with the Registry all day long, but errors in system.ini
and win.ini tend to work their way into the Registry and defeat the best
laid plans.
Hope this helps.
