Go to http://www.pcbuyerbeware.co.uk/Links.htm#UUU

There is a free utility there called cOPYlOCK (with an
introduction) that allows you to delete such files.

Thanks for the previous help...for some reason I couldn't
post a reply to an anwer?!!!!

Anyways, checked the scan Reg and found the two following
with the offending DLL

(ab) (Default) "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM|PBPNDI.DLL
(ab) Threading Model APartment

I can't delete the first one, and the second one
reappears
on reboot?

ANy ideas anyone how to proceed?

Thanks in advance.

----------------------------------------------------------
have no such "PBPNDI.DLL", nor is it in my Win98SE .cabs.

8&hl=en&btnG=Google+Search
No one has heard of it at Google Groups, ever! Have you
spelt it
correctly?

A .DLL may be started in the Startup Group by
RunDLL32.exe. Also, there
may be other ways it gets started. Therefore, selectively
prevent the
non-MS items in "START, Run, MSConfig, Startup tab", to
see which is
starting it.

(1) If your virus checker has quarantined an item, a call
to something
that uses PBPNDI.DLL may yet be in the Startup Group. It
is trying to
activate but cannot. So, "START, Run, MSConfig, Startup
tab", & uncheck
it. Next, go to your virus scanner's site, to see whether
there are
other finishing touches to apply.

(2) If you've uninstalled something lately, much the same
applies.
Reinstall it, & uninstall it again properly in "Control
Panel,
Add/Remove Programs". That way, if anything else was left
behind, it too
will hopefully go.

(3) Well, consider...

Check the Registry for a mention of it, Export, & Delete
the line.
However, if the line is in an MRU (Most Recently Used)
list, just let it
be...

(a) "START, Run, RegEdit".
(b) Select "Find" in the Edit menu. Search
for "PBPNDI.DLL", no quotes.
(It may take a while.)

(c) "Registry menu, Export Registry file".

This will create a ".reg" file of the entire Key
that is open...
all the items in the right pane & any sub-keys in the
left
pane
(supposing there was a plus sign on the one highlighted).
Give it a name
& location of your choosing, even to the Desktop or My
Documents. Then,
if something goes wrong with the following, you will be
able to simply
click that file, to Merge it's contents back into the
Registry.

(d) R-Clk the item(s) in the right or left pane that
specifically
mentions "PBPNDI.DLL", and select Delete.
Anything in an MRU list may be left alone.
You know what? Perhaps just do the Export's & post
them.
(e) Continue the search, at step (b).


By default, when a ".reg" is clicked, it will Merge into
the Registry.
To alter the default behavior: "START, Settings, Folder
Options, File
Types tab". Scroll to & click "Registration Entries",
click the "Edit"
button, select "edit" in the window & click the "Set
Default" button.
Now, when you click a ".reg" file, it will open in
Notepad
for
examination. To merge it into the Registry, R-Clk it &
select "Merge".

Thanks or Good Luck,
There may be humor in this post, and,
Naturally, you will not sue,
should things get worse after this,
