Control Panel weirdness

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

When I try to open Control Panel I get a the following message:

Banner Line: skyres32.dll
Message Text: The requested program cannot be started due to a missing dll
file.

When I click on OK the message box closes and Control Panel opens.

This dll was associated with software I installed to provide me with a
satellite based DSL service (SkyDSL).

I deinstalled the product and since then get the message.

I've searched through the registry and deleted any relevant keys but am
still getting the message.

I used the Sysinternals tool Filemon to try to track the process and it
seems to be associated with svchost.exe but again a registry search didn't
help.

I've scanned the registry with various tools, again no joy.

Does anybody have any suggestions as to where I should look?

TIA,

Bernie
