Please help. On my other computer (Windows XP), whenever
I try to open My Computer, Internet Explorer, or Control
Panel, I get the follwing error "This module was compiled
with a trial version of Delphi. The trial period has
expired." It will not let me open them. I have no idea
what Delphi even is. It's on a dell comp and I
reformatted the hard drive and reinstalled Windows about 2
weeks ago. This is very frustrating. I would greatly
appreciate any input.
 
I have the same problem as you on a hp laptop i got two
weeks ago. Have you found any solutions. If so please
email me at (e-mail address removed). Thanks

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.
