View Full Version : "Bwdelay" error message

"bwdelay.exe" is not part of your Windows installation. It
was added as part of a third party networking component,
most probably HPNA. Try uninstalling the HPNA. If it
does not uninstall, you will need to find where bwdelay is
being automatically run, and remove it there.

To do this, run msconfig.exe in a command window, or from
start/run. Pick the "Startup" tab, and see if bwdelay
appears in the list. If so, uncheck it, apply the changes
and restart.

In any case, it seems that you need to contact the program
vendor for a compatible release with your Windows ME
platform.
