win98 startup "cannot find cwcprops.cpl" message 1

[cit172]

The message box appears just after the win98 splash. I just press OK & cary on - no harm done, but a pain in the a*@*. I have never used Corel Draw, so I assume it's a Control Panel Link. Can I stop startup looking for the file (if so, how?) or should I download the offending file (if so, where?)
best wishes

You can use MSCONFIG and check to see what is trying to start. If it is a corel program then just un check it and restart your PC.
to run msconfig click start / run / then type msconfig

Hi cit172

Are you sure it's a corel draw file?

If you have a sound card called (I think) Sound Fusion, then very likely there is a file called cwcprops.cpl present in your system.

Do what FlashTag has suggest, run MSCONFIG and under the StartUp tab and disable the offending file.

Good luck

Thanks very much, LSTAN
You hit the proverbial on the whossname.
I re-installed the driver for the soundcard (a Crystal/Genius Soundmaker SM32) & lo and behold, there was the offending file!!
Thanks also to everyone else who read/replied
