Weird Delphi Error Message in XP Home

[Daz]

Hi,

Everytime i try to run any windows components (explorer,
control panel etc.) i get the following error message -
"This module was compiled with a trial version of Delphi,
that version has now expired"

I don't use delphi (or any other compiler), I haven't made
any changes to the system that i know of, it just started
out of the blue. All that i have on my system is
Photoshop, and that works fine.

Any ideas?

I didn't see an answer in that thread (though a solution is there)

Use Spy++ to identify the process owning the dialog (email me and I lend =
you the file) or try and identify which process appears when you start =
it in Task Manager's Process tab (press Ctrl + Alt + Delete).

What we need is someone to try the task manager thing. I reckon us here =

Nearly everyone will have one BHO installed, Acrobat Reader- =

please quote the post you are replying to - it helps the vast majority who
are using a newsreader as opposed to the horrible web interface to keep the
thread intact.

as to the "delphi" problem, have a look here:
