When I boot up my Windows 98 computer I get the following message:

"TUN LPR" Followed by

"TUN COMMON DLL COULD NOT BE LOADED" Followed by

"ERROR 157 WHEN LOADING C:\PROG FIXES\PCN TERM\COMMON\TUNCM32.DLL"

I'm a novice to mid level computer user and this suggested to me that a
program which I previously had on this computer PCN TERM was left behind in
some form in a directory or as an entry in the registry. I removed all
traces of the program from explorer after I had uninstalled it and then
looked for any traces of PCN TERM in the registry (which are not present at
this time). Any way that I can clean this up. It doesn't keep anything
from working, but it is annoying.

Run MSCONFIG from the Start>Run box. Look on the Startup tab for any item
that could be a launcher for the application. Is there one? If so, post back
for instructions on permanently removing it.

1. If you have AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files
(which run automatically at reboot) try booting without
them (by renaming them something else e.g.
AUTOEXEC.BAK and xCONFIG.SYS.) These are
"legacy files" (needed by Win95 but not by Win98)
and useful in Win98 only for special setups --
probably not by you.

2. File calls to removed programmes often survive in
2a. Registry, where you can remove items, but the
REGEDIT process is not recommended for novices.
2b. INI files especially WINDOWS.INI and SYSTEM.INI
which run when Windows starts. You can edit these
via /start/run/MSCONFIG and deactivate file calls to
filenames you recognize as not present. This is done
by typing a semicolon ; in the leftmost column of its
line. (If you find out you need the command, you can
always remove the semicolon to restore it.)
