Mary J,

I don

Thank you.

Kaplinb or Others,

What if it is Win 98? Can you search for it in the Registry keys and modify the names? I’m fairly sure that works for the operation system when you look at the properties of “My Computer” but I’m not certain if that is where MS programs like Office 97 get their information for company names or not. Under “Tool” “Options” on the “User Information” tab within Word I found no indication of a company name. I’m not certain if that is because one was never entered when Office 97 was installed or if it is just not ever stored there to begin with.

Thanks.

Berylm,

When I worked I had the same problem. I would download it at home and then either transfer it to work via a remote connection or copy it on whatever media I needed to hand carry it to my work machine.

Mike,

I assume the program is RegVac. How did you like it? The reviews are less than positive.

Thanks.

Mike,

Thanks, I’ll try it soon.

Mark and Dave,

I must apologize. I don’t know how I overlooked the entries but I found most of them under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE——– RunServices-. I am down to only 3 unchecked entries: “Memory Stick Monitor”, “GoBack Tray Icon”, and “Iomega Bachup Scheduler” Those I can not find even by searching the Registry for their program name for instance “Memory Stick Monitor” = MSSTAT.EXE. Still it can not be found.

The “Load=” I told you how I got rid of them.

Thanks for all your help.

Dave,

Thanks. I will try to compile a list and post it here but it may take me a little while to do that. Below is my most recent reply to Mark.

Something interesting I found when searching for “Load=” was noload= in the Win.ini. I remarked that line out and did get rid of all the “Load=” entries.

Thanks.

Mark,

I have looked in all those files except winstart.bat which I don’t have. Something interesting I found when searching for “Load=” was noload= in the Win.ini. I remarked that line out and did get rid of all the “Load=” entries.

Thanks

Hi,

Thank you for your help.

Mark,

I had already searched the Registry for Load= before I even posted my question. It came up absolutely empty which was hard for me to understand.

I have searched all the Registry keys that you suggested and then looked at the remaining ones individually and still I have found no Load= and only a couple of the other entries I wanted to delete. I have been looking for almost 2 months now off and on for these entries but still have had no luck. Also I did already search all the *.ini files I could think of for the Load=.

Thanks for all your help.

Mark,

I just got back from the two Registry keys you suggested. The only entries were the ones under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun- and they were the valid entries that need to start up on boot up. I still can not find any of the entries that are unchecked when viewing them in “msconfig” There was nothing at all under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun. I also looked under RunOnce, RunOnceEx, RunServices, RunServices-, and RunServicesOnce and still no luck. Before when I did a search for the entries as they appear in “msconfig” I couldn’t find them in the Registry, Win.ini, System.ini or anywhere else.

Any other suggestions. A lot of the entries I would like to delete start with load = That is why I looked in all the ini files I could think of.

Mark,

Thanks. I’ll go to that machine and start hunting now.

Mark,

I think it means that but I also loaded that program called Win Tidy and found out it works great also. I did go to the appearance tab and try to get the icons and the screen color to screw up but they seemed to remain stable. The only thing I can contribute that to is the video driver you gave me.

Again thanks.

Mark,

I have been using the video driver you up loaded since 3JAN02 and I have had no problems that I can identify.

Thanks for the help.
