Default 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 FindFiles & 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 StartRun 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.)

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 Google link I gave you earlier was off. It should be:
http://www.google.com/search?q=pgpsdk



Hi, I'm not using the laptop (too slow) with the problem to send this
message. Re-typed as is.

Thankyou

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\PGPsd kServ.exe"
PGPSERVICE................"C\Program files\Network Associates\PGP for
Windows 98\PGPService.exe"

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\Curr entVersion\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 FileExport,
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.

Tried to save it to desktop but message comes up about the path not

Haven't gone to the next stage as I'd need to know if it it'll be OK to
save without the \

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.

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?

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.
