Startup problem involving tddebug.386
I recently uninstalled Borland c++ and now whenever i startup i get this message:

"Cannot find a device file that may be needed to run windows or a windows application.

The windows registry or System.INI file refers to this device file but this device file no longer exist.

If you deleted his file on purpose, try unistalling the associated application using its uninstall or setup program.

Missing file:
c:\BC5\BIN\TDDEBUG.386"

Should I replace that file?  If so how do i get it?
Should i uninstall another program?

Please help,
Thanks
Paul

This site should help: http://bdn.borland.com/article/0,1410,17580,00.html
However, what you have is that either in your win.ini or sys.ini it is looking for c:\BC5\BIN\TDDEBUG.386"
when you are booting up and either the path or the file is missing from that file. You need to make sure both of these are correct. You can do a search for the TDDEBUG.386 file and then right-click it if found and see where it located. Dave
