Your first place to get rid of any programme is;
Click 'start'...then 'settings'...then 'control panel'.
Look for the programme name you want to delete. If it's there, select and delete it. If not, come back here.
PS: All upper case doesn't make for easier reading.

Glad you brought this up, my Mum&Dad's PC keeps asking for this too.
A quick 'Google' led me to this link
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/robin.d.h.walker/cmtips/broadjump.html
Hope there's a solution for you on there.

Hi Rosebud - you need to type "msconfig" (not misconfig!)
Does that help?
Good luck - Gavin

Okay, found some more info for you.
Windows 2000 doesn't have msconfig. Another google on this found a forum discuss a different subject but stated this:
--
open up Regedit and browse to [HLKM\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\CURRENTVERSION\RUN]. From there, you can manually delete the values, which are starting the unwanted applications
--
Hope this helps further

I'm a cowardy-cat - delving into regedit and editing registry can be more than a little tricky, unless you know what you're doing. Not something you want to get wrong.
I'll see if I can find something a bit safer - I know what it is, as I used to have it, but I can't for the life of me remember the name.
All best - Gavin
