re: program.exe message when booting Thursday, November 28, 2002 at 4:40 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by andrew (2 messages posted) Cheers for the advice -the full message says "windows cannot locate the file program.exe. This file is needed to run files of dat. type". Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Maybe the demo not running and the windows message are separate issues- anyway I'll give the other suggestions a try. thanks On Thursday, November 28, 2002 at 11:03 am, LarryJ wrote: > > >Just for grins, do an up-to-date virus >scan, >if you haven't already, just to rule this out. > >Did you delete a program without uninstalling it properly?
