explorer.exe errors

[Steve-O]

Does anyone know why I keep getting this message "This
module was compiled with a trial version of Delphi. The
trial period has expired." I will click on "OK" to clear
that message and this one appears "explorer.exe has
generated errors and will be closed by Windows. An error
log is being created". I click OK or cancel on that
message and I go into active desktop recovery mode. I can
no open anything on my desktop or use internet explorer.
It has basically cripled my system. I have ran a search
for files containing "delphi" but come up with zero. I
also ran "Fix-It Utlities" and have fopund no erros.

Anyone have an idea??? Thanks in advance!

Yes, something you've installed, either on purpose or via spyware, was
made with a trial version of Delphi. A lot of people have reported that
removing something called "CPR" via Add/Remove Programs takes care of
the problem. You can also use spyware removal tools like Spybot Search
& Destroy (www.security.kolla.de) and Ad-aware (www.lavasoftusa.com).

Thanks to everyone that replied. Turns out it was the CPR
file that was causing all of the problems. I have no idea
how this got on my computer. Never the less this program
can cause havoc. Thanks again.
