This is the worsted program. I was using it on one of the older machines and
now wasted several hours
After many problems with it I uninstalled it. I got a error message on
boot up that it needed a sysmantec program to run. I went into the reg. and
clean out the sysmantec references. I went to win.ini did the same ; still
it is there.
I think that this is now some sort of spy ware. It may be called sometime
else but it is spyware under my definition
Does anyone know under a win98 Os how
to get rid of the boot up error message that reads did you unistall
sysmantec program it is needed please see win.ini file or change in reg. (
why this is necessary shows how bad the program was written there is never
any reason for this unistaller should have removed it)

"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the
country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag
the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a
parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can
always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have
to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for
lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."

Try your config.sys file (less likely) or your autoexec bat file (more
likely). There will probably be an entry in there that needs to be removed.
