The PATH issue has nothing to do with your error messages. Python25.dll is normally installed in the C:\Windows\System32 folder, not C:\Python25, so whether or not c:\Python25 is in your PATH is irrelevant to whether it will be found (in C:\Windows\System32). The facts as far as I can tell are: a) Some application in your startup is trying to link to/load Python25.dll but failing as per the message you posted. b) You've uninstalled Python 2.5, so a) is not really surprising. c) The application (whatever it is) will *NOT* automatically start using the newer Python27.dll because you've installed Python 2.7. These are considered seperate/distinct versions of Python. Your options to get rid of the message is: a) Reinstall Python 2.5 b) Remove the application that depends on Python 2.5 (that is expecting it to be present.) To add: I'd be careful of 32 bit/64 bit issues -- If the application trying to run is in fact 32 bit then you should probably be installing the 32-bit version of Python, otherwise it probably still won't find Python25.dll. (32-bit applications won't be able to link to 64-bit dll's, and in any case on 64-bit versions of Windows things get a bit obscure -- C:\Windows\System32 actually contain 64-bit native dll's while 32-bit compatility dll's reside in c:\Windows\SysWOW64 but is presented as c:\Windows\System32 to 32-bit processes by the OS... ) If you don't know whether the application is 32-bit or 64-bit you'll just have to find out by trial and error. Install the one and if this doesn't resolve the problem then remove it again and install the other.
