[Tutor] Return to my python26.dll & python.dll problems on bootup

[Wayne Watson]

You are right about posting here, but I was hoping someone might have 
related to the problem. I went to the WinAmp forum for help. But who 
would have guessed that WinAmp would have provided a program not ready 
for prime time, and nothing buy an advertisement to get you to buy the 
latest drivers for your PC.  Lesson learned.  Someone on their forum 
suggested hijackthis.log, which will fix a registry.  Five stars by 
CNET, but it may not be quite free.  Ah, I just got through to uniblue's 
tech support by mail.

As an aside, I've noticed that a lot of downloadable freebies have pages 
that are thick  with other $ products advertising. Once you get through 
several pages of them, you then find the download.
