Somehow related to Yahoo Messenger in most cases... also occurs on computers with Word 97 or Office 97, or with Internet Explorer 5 installed at some time in the past. Also, if you have previously downloaded "Netsonic"
Search for files that have this as part of the file name: "MNSTR", "MNSTR2", or if you have downloaded Voodoo II, Monstor Voodoo, My Yahoo.DLL, or Diamond Video drivers by mistake... Common error if you have 3dfx Voodoo 3, but don't imagine that would apply here. Anyway, it is commonly found associated with messeneger programs and some video... and older software that is part of an old and favorite program... If any of those apply, use a simple registry editor such as RegClean by Juoni Viourno to remove those lines from the registry. ________ If you don't learn to laugh at trouble, you won't have anything to laugh at when you are old. . . . . . . . . .
