Whenever I boot up my pc, there is a pop up window screen displaying "open this file - mpg4c.dll with the following associate files"
May I know how do I get rid of this window screen?
I got this screen when I have deleted or uninstalled some programmes. Thank you.

Check these startup locations:

If Win98, go to Start>Run, type msconfig, click the startup tab and check here.

If Win95, backup the registry and/or export the following keys:
go to Start>Run, type regedit. Navigate to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\RunServices
and delete the entry in the right pane.

Go to Start>Run, type sysedit. Look over the autoexec.bat for unneccessary lines, click the win.ini and check for programs loading here:
[windows]
load=
run=

Check the Start>Programs>Startup folder for shorcuts.

Thanks Guru, it works. So it's actually part of the Power Point Netshow file. Thanks once again.
