This module was compiled with a trial version of Delphi. The trial period
has expired. - by Borland Developer Support Staff

Plus most likely it will be listed in either MSConfig or as an addin to IE
(eg a BHO cos it does Explorer as well) listed under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Browse
r Helper Objects (then look up number under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID to find
the file.

Use Spy++ to identify the process owning the dialog (email me and I lend you
the file) or try and identify which process appears when you start it in
Task Manager's Process tab (press Ctrl + Alt + Delete).

Borland has done some investigation and found that the culprit must be
a module CPR.DLL which apparently has been compiled by somebody
(unknown) using a trial version of Delphi and then distributing it somehow.
The trial version used has an expiration date of November 26th (so the
compilation must have taken place on or after September 27th).

The solution is to remove (uninstall) CPR if it appears in the list of
installed programs or manually remove CPR from the applicable
folder(s).

According to Borland no undesired side effects have been reported
when just removing CPR

Users may have to start their computers in safe mode for this repair.

regards Sven

You can delete files in use by renaming them and rebooting, then deleting the renamed file.
