pgpsdk.vxd error

July 8, 2008

When powering up my laptop (windows 98) a message comes up with 'Can't

find a device file that may be needed to run windows or a win

application'. Then after a few more lines about if it was deleted on

purpose etc. a new line comes up with:

pgpsdk.vxd

Then 'press a key to continue'

After pressing the 'enter' key everything loads up as normal.

Can someone please tell me what I need to do to totally remove this

message every time I turn the laptop on.

~Thankyou

Files (dud or removed or unnecessary) called at

boot may be called directly from the Registry (so

file calls must be removed via REGEDIT) but are

more often called by either WIN.INI or SYSTEM.INI

both conveniently displayed for editing via MSCONFIG.

You can start by searching alll *.INI files for the string

pgpsdk

Check for a version of PGP which may have been installed in your system.

Look in Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs - for the PGP program{s}

If none can be found installed then you may have a failed installation or

un-installation. Check using MSInfo32 or MSConfig for entries related to PGP

and disable them. If this takes care of the issue, re-enable them, download

and run autoruns from Microsoft Tech Net and remove the entries premanently

or use something like RegSeeker to search for those entries and remove from

there..

Hi, nothing in add/remove programs that indicate any PGP programs. Don't

know how to use MSInfo32 or MSConfig for entries related to PGP. Can you

please tell me how to do it?

Re: pgpsdk.vxd error

You apparently recently uninstalled a program that uses pgpsdk.vxd, which

indicates that it built by someone using the PGP Software Development Kit,

which tells me not that it's PGP itself but rather some other program that

uses PGP in part.

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=pgpsdk.vxd

What application did you recently install or uninstall?

Since we don't know if it is somethine you recently installed or

uninstalled, it may be something that is still installed but broken. So

let's do some searching and see what comes up.

Use Start>Find>Files & Folders and do the following search:

Named: *.INI

Containing Text (second box in Find) put: PGPSDK

If one is found, open the file (just double-click it), use Search to look

for PGPSDK, then copy that section and paste it here for instructions.

If no results, go to Start>Run box, type in REGEDIT, press OK. Then use

Edit>Find to search for PGPSDK. If located, click on File, then Export and

save the file to the Desktop as pgpsdk_1.reg (leave REGEDIT open.) Then

right-click the new REG file and Edit. Use Ctrl-A to Select All, then Ctrl-C

to copy, then open a Reply to this message and use Ctrl-V to Paste in the

data. Then go back to REGEDIT and press F3 to continue searching. If you

find more, Export the item. adding numbers to the filenames: pgpsdk_2.reg,

for example. Then copy/paste the data here.

If there are still no results, try putting *.* in the Named box and PGPSDK

in the Containing text box. It will take a long time.

Again... What have you recently installed or uninstalled?

Gary has suggested some additional search activities and questions. As he

has indicated, it would be instrumental to know what you installed or

un-installed prior to more information on how to remove the registry or

other entries.

That you found no entry in Add/Remove Programs; means either you are

unaware of PGP ever being installed, or have un-installed something recently

which contained it as part of the security within that program.

That file is used in PGP activities [encryption or other] so it may be wise

to first determine whether you might have encrypted areas or other that

might need converted back to normal or otherwise delicately removed.

Well, then, what of the rest of the instructions I gave you? That's how you

maybe will find the load-driver command that was left behind.

Turnpike definitely had PGP.

That one is OK. It is a harmless MRU (Most Recently Used) list of the

Those also are causing no harm. They are two items you have unchecked at

"START button, Run, MSConfig, Startup tab". It's sloppy to leave it like

that, though. If you never intend to check them again in MSConfig, then

you may delete them in RegEdit. Just R-Clk them in the R-Pane, & select

"Delete". They will no longer show up as unchecked items in MSConfig,

then. Or, do as stated below if it applies.

| 3rd search (same as 2nd search)

That shouldn't be. You must have have begun the search from the top of

RegEdit to get that again. You must, instead, continue searching from

the point you left off. When the bottom of the registry is reached, you

will be informed with: "Finished searching through the registry."

Or can it be the 3rd search really showed the same thing-- EXCEPT for

that minus sign at the end of Runservices-? That's a different key, & it

would mean the items show up TWICE in MSConfig-- & one set of them is

checked. In that case...

(a) Check all 4 of them in MSConfig.

(b) Click "Apply", & then click "OK".

You will get a message asking whether to restart.

After that, you will be left with only 2 of the 4-- the two that are

checked. Follow Terhune's instructions on how to get rid of the those

two. The unchecked ones will be gone from the registry too.

Re: pgpsdk.vxd error

I'm sorry, but neither my first search suggestion doesn't mention anything

about REGEDIT. In fact, I put it last because it was least likely.

Use Find>Files & Folders to look for files Named *.INI, and in the second

box, Containing text PGPSDK. Do NOT put in *.PGPSDK. Just PGPSDK, all by

itself.

If that doesn't work, do it again for files named *.* (asterisk, period,

asterisk) Containing text PGPSDK.

Just for the heck of it, search for PGPSDK as the file name, Containing no

text.

If that doesn't work with the proper search term, then go to Start>Run and

type in MSCONFIG, then press <Enter>. Look at each tab for unchecked items

and write down what they are, then post that list back here. Then, on the

General tab, check "Normal Startup" and reboot when prompted.

Now repeat the Registry search. Ignore the MRU finding(s) (it's from using

Find to look for that term.)

The only pgpsdk files found were the new ones I'd created on the

desktop.

Deleted pgpsdk in regedit

Selected normal startup (was on selective)

Process autoexec.bat file, process system.ini file, processwin.ini file,

(all of these were checked.

Load startup group items - was greyed but checked

Restarted laptop but the same error message came up after the windows 98

logo went

Ran 'regedit' - these 2 were found

PGPSDKSVC.................."C\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\PGPsdkServ.exe"

PGPSERVICE................"C\Program files\Network Associates\PGP for

Windows 98\PGPService.exe"

Re: pgpsdk.vxd error

1. You *really* should have done as I said and made a list of the items that

were unchecked on each tab of MSCONFIG. There were at least two on the

Startup tab that we already know about. Now we don't know what else was

disabled besides the two entries we were looking for. Expect more problems

unless you were incredibly lucky and those two items were the only ones

unchecked.

2. I assume the two entries you found the last time you searched REGEDIT

were in

HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices

If not, stop right now and tell us where you found them, otherwise:

3. Click on the Key itself (folder looking thing), then click File>Export,

save the file to your Desktop and call it RunServices.reg.\

4. Delete the two entries you found (not the whole Key, just those two

entries you found.

5. Close REGEDIT and restart.

Recently removed Turnpike as I thought it would have cleared the problem

Searched for pgpsdk using *.* and found it in:

Turnpike Installer log in folder C:\Windows

System................C:\Windows

User.....................C:\Windows

Notepad.lgc...........C:\Windows\Applog

+ several more but these are in the files I renamed and saved to desktop

(do I still need these?)

Yes! Sorry! The way you saved it was perfect. That backslash was a typo,

pure and simple. Shouldn't have been there.

Re: pgpsdk.vxd error

You restarted after doing what? Did you remove the Registry entries first?

Understand, just exporting the Registry entries was for backup, so we could

undo it if necessary. After you export the entries, then you edit

(add/delete, change, etc.)

Did you delete the entries after Exporting them, as instructed?

Re: pgpsdk.vxd error

First, answer my other reply, posted just a few minutes ago. If you didn't

already get rid of the Registry entries, do so and then test. If the error

recurs, check to see if the Registry entries are back. If they are, that's a

hint.

Regardless of anything else you do, do yourself a BIG favor and change these

settings. In Windows Explorer, Tools menu (assuming you're up to date with

IE, otherwise in the View menu) look for Folder Options. In Folder Options,

on the View tab, uncheck the following item:

"Hide file extensions for known file types"

Then, right above that setting, click "Show all files."

If there are no longer any entries in the Registry referring to the program,

and you still get the error, repeat the Find searches I suggested. Please

report the results here, even though you replied to an entirely unrelated

post that has no mention of Find, but instead only discusses the Registry.

And, please, help us help you by replying more diligently. For instance,

please reply to each paragraph, even if it's only to say, "Done!" You can do

that "inline" or with a fully fleshed out top or bottom post. But, "I did

that, it didn't work" as a reply to my rather more complicated instructions

gives me no useful information. I structure my paragraphs for just that kind

of back & forth conversation. You are being much too taciturn. You need to

report fully and formally for this to work.

searched for pgpsdk again and found "ab"

Do I need to delete these entries?

That's in the Registry? If so, please right-click the "folder" (it's

properly called a Key in the Registry), choose Copy Key Name, and paste that

into a reply, so I can see the entire path. Or simply open that Key, check

the View menu that Status bar is enabled, then look at the bottom of the

window. Does it say:

My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\PGPsdk

If so, if it says *exactly* that, then use File menu>Export Registry File to

save a copy of the key to your Desktop (call it pgpsdk_VxD.reg), then once

that is completed, delete the key named "PGPsdk". Reboot and test.

Otherwise, post the name of the Key here.

I understand. I figured you were having some difficulties what with the

variable name and all, <s>. But if you found what I think you found in the

Registry, you found the problem, and deleting that key is the solution.

Re: pgpsdk.vxd error

Glad to hear it's fixed!

Standard operating procedure for exported REG files in these cases is to

hold on to them for a month or so and then, presuming no other problems have

popped up, you can delete them if you want. Understand that they are the

only records you have of what was in the Registry before you deleted the

entries. You may never want to restore them, but they may contain valuable

clues if some other related issue comes up over the next several weeks.
