Eidenk, that's a good question. Good question. After reading that question I checked the properties of this WMI file. It is for Windows 2000, not Windows 98SE. Also, my laptop is a Toshiba Tecra 8000 if that makes any difference. I think I will do what you suggest and poke around more to see what program could be using this file. And georg, thank you. If I can't find the program I will go into one of those cabs, copy it and place it in the system folder to see if that makes a difference.
