It sounds as if something has been uninstalled recently leaving a reference to the mswebsp.vxd file in the registry. I had this problem when uninstalling First Aid 97. Do a backup of your registry and search for the reference to the file using regedit. Delete the reference to this file and all should be fine. Note: There may be more than one reference to this file in the registry. Holly Lewis Knowledge Architect ServiceWare, Inc.
