Removing window at startup

I deleted several programs from my Windows 98 operating system but since then I continue to get a window at startup saying "Cannot find the file "anrc.exe" (or one of its componets). Make sure................ Once I click ok it disappears with no obvious effect. I have searched for the file in "find" and in regedit and located something under that title. I deleted it but the window continues to be displayed. How do I eliminate this permanently. Thanks for any advice u can render.

Cant seem to find this on the net, searched my computer win98, no such file. Did you "uninstall" these programs or just delete the folders? I would go to start, run, msconfig, and look in the startup folder. See if anything stands out..

 

Run MSconfig and check contents of Autoexec.bat & Confid.sys(if you have them) and also Win.ini and Sys.ini for any references to the offending program.

 

Thanks for all your suggestions!!!! I did go into msconfig to win.ini. and under windows I found an checked box alongside of a listing "norun=anrc ". I unchecked the box and restarted the computer but the window persists. I also tried RegCleaner to no success. Any other things I should be trying? Thanks again.

Nancy, this is just a shot in the dark, but some months ago I had a problem like this and all I did was restore my registry to a date prior to the time the problem started. The problem window went away immediately. Good luck.
