Annoying message during windows startup Tuesday, May 4, 2004 at 7:05 am Windows Me Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Barry (2 messages posted) Dear all, I have just installed Office XP Professional on Windows ME. I only installed Word, Excel, and Powerpoint. After installation I restarted my PC, an error message popped up: "Error Loading C:\\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\BRIDGE.DLL The system cannot find the file specified " However, when I look into the folder C:\\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ I do clearly see that the file "BRIDGE.DLL" is there! I then uninstalled Office XP and reboot the PC again, sadly, the same message just won't go away. So my question is, what is this BRIDGE.DLL file doing on my PC? I am tempted to go into Regedit and delete all the entries with bridge.dll but I am not sure if this is the right thing to do. Many thanks for helping out. barry Responses to this message: re: Annoying message during windows startup (jabuck: Tuesday, May 4, 2004 at 8:56 am) re: Annoying message during windows startup (c-luva: Wednesday, May 19, 2004 at 1:58 pm) All messages in this thread [show all] Annoying message during windows startup (Barry: Tue, May 4, 2004, 7:05 am) re: Annoying message during windows startup (jabuck: Tue, May 4, 2004, 8:56 am) re: Annoying message during windows startup (Barry: Wed, May 5, 2004, 3:40 am) re: Annoying message during windows startup (c-luva: Wed, May 19, 2004, 1:58 pm) re: Annoying message during windows startup (Scott Knapp: Sun, Jun 13, 2004, 5:40 pm) Reply or follow-up to this message Search this forum Start a new thread on a different subject Report abuse of the forum Return to the Windows Me Discussion Forum
