Cybermedia's Oil Change vs IE 4
Q I have installed a number of CyberMedia products recently and am quite happy with them, (Uninstaller, Oil Change and First Aid 97). However, there is a very annoying screen that fires up when I boot the PC. It is an Explorer (IE 4) screen with a CyberMedia folder containing the file cyberkrn.vxd. This file doesn't appear to do anything for me, but deleting the folder gave me a different message on boot up, confirming that does seem to do something! I copied the saved folder back to its original location. I have tried to explore the StartUp folder but there is no mention of the Explorer folder, Explorer or the .vxd file anywhere in the StartUp folder that I can see. I am now at a loss to know where this folder is started from. Do you have any suggestions on how to stop it starting? - Compton Allen A This problem is probably caused by a conflict between Oil Change and the Windows Desktop Update component of Internet Explorer 4, which provides enhancements such as the Active Desktop and the Web-integrated Start menu and taskbar. The folder you see on booting is an ordinary folder created and used by one or more of the CyberMedia programs during normal operation. It isn't actually in the StartUp folder but it seems to be because it appears every time you start your computer.
