if you have any clues ideas ect - please let me know - I'd also like to know
how to clean up my registry - maybe that has too many deleted program files
floating around -


Don't fret about the registry status. It is just a text based
database and Windows XP does a pretty good job of housekeeping with
it.

If you have uninstalled these programs using the uninstall function
that came with that program or by using Control Panel - Add/Remve
Programs then there is rarely anything substantive left behind in the
registry, although a few orphan entries may still remain. But almost
certainly nothing that is going to interfere with the normal operation
of the computer or trigger error conditions such as the one you
reported here earlier.

Good luck
