PowerReg Scheduler not opening

[Bryan]

After I downloaded the Windows XP Service Pack SP1, I am
getting a temporary freeze when I startup my computer,
and then a message stating:
'Windows cannot open the file: PowerReg Scheduler.RBO.
Windows needs to know what program created it to open it.'

I found from searching on the web that PowerReg
Scheduler.RBO is checked off as a Startup Item under the
Startup tab in the System Configuration Utility(SCU) menu
window. The SCU can be accessed by entering 'msconfig' in
the run slot.

Can I delete the existing PowerReg Scheduler.RBO and load
a new one from the web, or just uncheck it from the
startup list in SCI?
