| 854490 | 2010-02-01 21:20:00 | The last few days on boot up I have had this appear:- Ereg.exe Unable to locate component Followed by:- This application has failed to start because MSVCR71.dll was not found Reinstalling the application may solve this problem. Followed by:- A rather long note relating to Photo Gallery But I am lost - as far as I can see all the umpteen photo type programs I have used in the past and left on still seem to work I suppose the file is on some disk somewhere - but I don't even know what program it refers to. Help!! Tom |

| 854492 | 2010-02-01 22:19:00 | Thanks for the advice Speedy. I tried it and ran CCleaner but it made no difference. I used ANALYSE and then RUN CLEANER Was this simple method enough, or is there something else I should do? I have never altered the default setup in CCleaner Tom |

| 854493 | 2010-02-01 22:25:00 | You go to tools / startup, find the ereg entry then delete it, not analyze or run cleaner | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 854494 | 2010-02-02 22:17:00 | Followed your instructions but there was no sign of the file or anything else I recognized as belonging to omnipage. I had forgotten I had omnipage but as it failed to recognize either MSWorks files (which I use a heck of a lot) or the drafting program I use, it was of no benefit to me and it just got ignored. I decided to uninstall it and did so. But alas no difference - I still get the same irritating notice on boot up. I presume it must be some other program I have forgotten about but failed to identify. Back to the drawing board! Tom |

| 854495 | 2010-02-02 22:19:00 | Post a hijackthis log. Something belonging to it must be in startup. Why its complaining about it | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 854496 | 2010-02-02 22:49:00 | Followed your instructions but there was no sign of the file CLick Start, select RUN. Type msconfig Select Startup. Untick it. |

| 854497 | 2010-02-03 03:45:00 | CLick Start, select RUN. Type msconfig Select Startup. Untick it. Tried it Pctek. Seemed to be another way of doing what Speedy wants me to do. With sadly the same result. I can find no mention in the startup of the file in question. I have the feeling that Photo Gallery is a Windows program. I did have a browse and changed nothing (HONEST!!). But got a message that I had to reboot because of the changes I had made (none). OK I rebooted but still the annoying message popped up. Tom |

| 854498 | 2010-02-03 03:47:00 | Sounds like youre looking in the wrong place. Or you have no idea what we're talking about | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 854499 | 2010-02-03 04:25:00 | Post a hjt log. So we can see whats in startup | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
