Sorry to ask something so boring amongst all the interesting questions, but I am having trouble with Windows Me. I had to get rid of the Magistr worm, but in doing so seem to have deleted some files that certain apps need to work. All the programs I need are working. Those that aren’t are one which autoload at the start. When I reboot, I get error messages saying “x.dll is not available” etc. But I don’t know what these autoload programs are. Is there any way I can find out? Chances are they’re things I don’t even want autoloading anyway, so could just disable or delete them. I know about CTRL+ALT+DEL to show currently-running programs. How do I find load-at-start ones? Thanks in advance! ---

To see what programs run at startup, click on start, then run, then type _msconfig_, then click on the Startup tab. ---

If you search the net for the file you need, often you can download it from the net. Also, I use SystemSuite2000 it can correct messages like that in the registry for me. ---

When did CTRL+ALT+DEL replace the “mem” command? (My favorite version was “mem /c /p”. :eek: ) Wow! Am _ **I** _ out of date! ☹ ---

Sea Sorbust, what system are you using, Windows 3.1 or something?!? 😕 In anything later than Win 95 CTRL-ALT-DEL brings up the Task Manager. ---
