searched for pgpsdk again and found "ab"
STATICVXD.........."pgpsdk.vxd". This was in the folder VxD then
sub-folder PGPsdk.
Do I need to delete these entries?

My internet access has been down for a few days. Up and running again
but all your previous messages have expired and were deleted from my
inbox (just in case I'm asked to refer to earlier messages you'd need to
repeat the instructions again. Thankyou)

That's fine.

That's in the Registry? If so, please right-click the "folder" (it's
properly called a Key in the Registry), choose Copy Key Name, and paste that
into a reply, so I can see the entire path. Or simply open that Key, check
the View menu that Status bar is enabled, then look at the bottom of the
window. Does it say:
My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\PGPsdk

If so, if it says *exactly* that, then use File menu>Export Registry File to
save a copy of the key to your Desktop (call it pgpsdk_VxD.reg), then once
that is completed, delete the key named "PGPsdk". Reboot and test.

Otherwise, post the name of the Key here.

I understand. I figured you were having some difficulties what with the
variable name and all, <s>. But if you found what I think you found in the
Registry, you found the problem, and deleting that key is the solution.

Rebooted - Problem solved.

Glad to hear it's fixed!

Standard operating procedure for exported REG files in these cases is to
hold on to them for a month or so and then, presuming no other problems have
popped up, you can delete them if you want. Understand that they are the
only records you have of what was in the Registry before you deleted the
entries. You may never want to restore them, but they may contain valuable
clues if some other related issue comes up over the next several weeks.
