Click File>Save As, give it the name myex.reg and under the filename set file types to All Files. Save it to the desktop. When done double click the myex.reg when asked to merge say yes.

Reboot. Delete these files if there:

C:\\Documents and settings\(username)\LOCAL Settings\Temp\HPCMDTY.DLL
C:\WINDOWS\System32\c_10230.dll
C:\WINDOWS\System32\crt32_v2.dll
C:\WINDOWS\System32\crt2_v32.dll

Let me know how you get on.
I did what you asked and was only able to find one of those files. What exactly does that file do? only reason i ask is because the file is dated back to september 23rd 2001.
You're welcome - glad to help :D
