Cannot start program Resources directory missing

[dillonp]

Can anyone please help? I'm getting the error message "Cannot start this
program because the Resources directory or one of its sub-directories is
missing".
I get it on start-up. I believe I deleted some files I shouldn't have while
using a registry cleaner. I tried reversing what I did and tried using
Windows Restore function, but that didn't solve it. I'm using Genuine XP Home
Much appreciate your help.

Another sad tale of registry cleaners. Sorry I can't help you.
