TUN Common DLL problem
When I boot up my Windows 98 computer I get the following message:
"TUN LPR" Followed by "TUN COMMON DLL COULD NOT BE LOADED" Followed by "ERROR 157 WHEN LOADING C:\PROG FIXES\PCN TERM\COMMON\TUNCM32.DLL" I'm a novice to mid level computer user and this suggested to me that a program which I previously had on this computer PCN TERM was left behind in some form in a directory or as an entry in the registry. I removed all traces of the program from explorer after I had uninstalled it and then looked for any traces of PCN TERM in the registry (which are not present at this time). Any way that I can clean this up. It doesn't keep anything from working, but it is annoying. Bob |

TUN Common DLL problem
Run MSCONFIG from the StartRun box. Look on the Startup tab for any item
that could be a launcher for the application. Is there one? If so, post back for instructions on permanently removing it. -- Gary S.

Any way that I can clean this up. It doesn't keep anything from working, but it is annoying. 1. If you have AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files (which run automatically at reboot) try booting without them (by renaming them something else e.g. AUTOEXEC.BAK and xCONFIG.SYS.) These are "legacy files" (needed by Win95 but not by Win98) and useful in Win98 only for special setups -- probably not by you. 2. File calls to removed programmes often survive in 2a. Registry, where you can remove items, but the REGEDIT process is not recommended for novices. 2b. INI files especially WINDOWS.INI and SYSTEM.INI which run when Windows starts. You can edit these via /start/run/MSCONFIG and deactivate file calls to filenames you recognize as not present. This is done by typing a semicolon ; in the leftmost column of its line. (If you find out you need the command, you can always remove the semicolon to restore it.) -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) |
