Click Start, Run, type REGEDIT, click OK. Press the Home key, press F3, type the name of the file into the search pane. Click "Find Next", and when located, delete the reference to the file. Press F3 to continue the search. You can click File, Export, and save the entry to the Desktop. If you remove it and there's a problem, double-click the .reg file you exported to the Desktop and it'll be added to the registry again. You can create a restore point before editing the registry too. You could click Start, Run, type MSCONFIG, click OK, click the StartUp tab, and deselect the item(s). When you restart the computer, you will be warned that you're running in the Diagnostic mode; click to not alert you again, and OK out. You won't see the message again. But I think it's best to just remove the references from the registry. -- Joe =o)

Guest paul Posted July 28, 2008 Posted July 28, 2008 Re: gytcpxvi.dll missing ???? Elmo, Great hint you gave me. Yes there were 2 entries in the registry. I removed them both. Now I just have to log out end back in. I let you know in a few moments.

You don't want it back. Since Google gets no hits on it, it's almost certainly a random name generated by some piece of malware. Did your anti-virus or anti-spyware program recently remove some infection? If so, it's possible that this is just a left-over reference to it. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP - Windows Desktop Experience Please Reply to the Newsgroup
