Sounds like the opposite problem: Prime95 is trying to delete a registry entry that doesn't exist. I had one do that to me recently. Rather than uncheck the box, manually edit ( in prime.ini ) the line "windows service=1" (or whatever line it has to that effect) to "...=0" and it will no longer see a need to try to delete the registry entry. And the box will now show as unchecked.
Hope that helps, Steve Harris -----Original Message----- From: A & T Schrum <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Wednesday, July 17, 2002 5:26 PM >No go. The box was unchecked.
