What was realtime? was it some program you installed then unproperly removed (meaning didnt use/didnt have uninstallation wizard just deleted the whole folder?) Goto start, run, type in msconfig click on the radio button that says selective startup, and uncheck your win.ini, then reboot the machine... if the problem is still there, go run msconfig again this time uncheck the system.ini so windows will not load it but tell it to load win.ini... My guess is probably that those two files are linked somewhere in those two ini files... unless it is directly in your registry which I advise you not touch at all if thats the case. If you nail it down to system.ini or win.ini in msconfig go under the system.ini or win.ini tab and find the links to those two files and uncheck them restart, see if you get the error messages again, which you shouldn't. But check to make sure everything else on your computer runs correctly... but then if they cant find it it wouldnt load anyhow so that doesnt really affect anything... and search for those two files on your harddrive first, it could be that you moved it from its original location also... good luck
