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!!

854491 2010-02-01 21:34:00 Ereg.exe has something to do with omnipage pro. Remove the entry in startup with ccleaner Speedy Gonzales (78)
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

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!

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.
pctek (84)
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.

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)
