Re: Uninstalling Internet Gateway?

[cyber]

On shutdown -- one gets a "program is not responding"
dialog. It occasionally freezes at other times (eg you
can't disable, but no popup "non-responding" dialog)
The other sign of problems was that the internet
connection seemed really balky on this computer, but
worked ok on the XP computer which is connected wirelessly
to the linksys router that this computer connects to
through a LAN cable.

I tried your fix -- I have removed only icsdlt.dll --
not ssdpsrv.exe, as yet -- and so far all seems to be
fine. Thanks again. As a suggestion -- maybe a note in
the XP networking wizard when applied to downward
compatibility? Only searching the whole computer for the
words "internet gateway" indicated the ICS link -- I
actually read ALL the documentation and searched the
knowledge base before trying you.
Its one of the truly amazing things about the internet,
that people give of their expertise, in these odd mixtures
of 'for profit'/volunteer and hobbyist enterprises, and
the whole thing just works. Much appreciated. Thanks
again, J

I'm having a similar problem, but on XP Home. I
accidentally installed the Internet Gateway, and it will
not disable or allow me to trash it. I looked in the
registry for the icsdlt.dll key but did not find it in the
location you advised for Win98. Can you help?

Thanks,

Dave
