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.

entries are still present. Deleted entries
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"

Found 'folder options' in 'My Computer'

unchecked
Then, right above that setting, click "Show all files."
"show all files" already selected. There's nothing to 'click' (right
clicking it just brings up...what's this?)

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.

searched for pgpsdk again and found "ab"
STATICVXD.........."pgpsdk.vxd". This was in the folder VxD then
sub-folder PGPsdk.
Do I need to delete these entries?
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.

My internet access has been down for a few days. Up and running again
but all your previous messages have expired and were deleted from my
inbox (just in case I'm asked to refer to earlier messages you'd need to
repeat the instructions again. Thankyou)

That's fine.

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\CurrentControlS et\Services\VxD\PGPsdk

If so, if it says *exactly* that, then use File menuExport 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.

Can I delete ALL the pgp...files (6) I've saved to the desktop?

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.
