Startup error: Cannot find file 'ctfmon.exe'

[JonnyRep]

Have got an annoying problem that has appeared on 2 machines.

I have read this is Office related, but all references I've seen to this relate to Office XP.

The machines have NT 4.0 (SP 6a + Post-Service Pack 6a Security Rollup Package) and Office 97.

This pops up on Startup/Logon everytime.

Anyone got any advise before I look to hacking into the registry?

Sorry should have added the full error message which is:

cftmon.exe

Cannot find the file 'ctfmon.exe' (or one of its components). Make sure the path and filename are correct and that all the required libraries are available.

Don't go poking around in your registry yet...

carrr, I had already checked that out, Office XP never has been on this machine it's over 5 years old but that's for you help anyway.

Just as I though had to hack the registry and remove ctfmon.exe from the Run folder, it now doesn't boot up with the error.
