cAN ANY OF YOU CLEVER BODS TELL ME WHAT THIS IS ABOUT AND HOW TO GET RID OF IT PLEASE. a GREY BOX POPS UP EACH TIME I PUT MY PUTER ON AND IT SAYS
PLEASE INSERT CDROM WITH VIRTUAL TRUCK PROGRAME
LOOKING FOR FILE  D/INSTALLS/TERAUSB\VTRUCK2.EXE.

THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE I CANCELLED BT BROADBAND AND HAD
NTL INSTALLED  IT REALLY ANNOYS ME.  BUT I DON`T WANT TO MESS THINGS UP TRYING TO GET RID OF IT MYSELF,ANY OFFERS OF HELP MUCH APPRICATED.
     CHEERS ROSEBUD.    ONLY IN UPPER CASE FOR EASY READING.

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.

Hi KK no it wasen`t in the control panel.  HELP!!!!! ;D
upper case dose make easier reading for me when i havent got my glasses!!!.   Rosebud.  ::)

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 colinandyvonne,thank you for your reply but i cannot seem to get any further than click run every time i type misconfig it is rejected.
Have you any other ideas.   That site addy you gave me read word for word what is on my puter,so i wonder why it won`t work?? :(

Hi Rosebud - you need to type "msconfig" (not misconfig!)

Does that help?

Good luck - Gavin

Hi Gavin i tried what you suggested and it keeps saying it cannot find a file of that name  and to make sure the path and file name are correct.   Can you help at all with that please thanks
                  Rosebud :D

very strange you haven't got 'msconfig'

not using a MAC are you?

Y.

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
