Could Not Load Or Run Specified In The Registry Error
46 comments Is there a common error that I just run into and I want to share with you. I installed last month a pretty old piece of software (Borland C) and today I remove it. As usual, I start with control panel -> programs list and click on the remove button after select Borland C. It was a little strange because I didn't get an wizard to assist me during uninstall process. I assumed that the software is not removed and I went to check the folders were it's installed (C:\ETC/BC5/). I deleted the BC5 folder and I thought that if the software files are gone and it's no longer appear in the programs list it means that I got rid of it for good. But I was wrong. Next time I opened my computer I got this desktop error: Could not load or run "C:\ETC\BC5\PIPELINE\reminder.exe" specified in the registry. Make sure the file exists on your computer or remove the reference to it in the registry. This reminded me that all the programs are not just some files on a hard drive, it also mean changes in windows registers. If you run into a similar problem you have to clean some register to fix it. To do that you have to follow some easy steps: 1. click on Start button and type regedit and hit enter key It will open the Registry Editor 2. Browse to HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> Microsoft -> Windows NT -> CurrentVersion -> Windows 3. Remove the "Load" field by right clicking and delete. 4. Restart computer. This worked for me and hope you'll find useful to. 46 Comments Reply Janette | March 3rd, 2011 What is the "Load" field? When I follow steps above, and (in step 2) open "Windows" I only have one entry there… (Default) REG_SZ (value not set). So where's the "Load" field that I'm supposed to right-click on and delete? Reply bogdan | March 5th, 2011 Do you have any error message as that described above? Could you tell me the exact error that you have? Reply Abby | October 25th, 2011 It says "unable to delete all specified values". Any suggestions? Reply xol | November 12th, 2011 after removing the file from the registry the message didn't appear again, thanks a lot! Reply Vanessa | November 30th, 2011 Which file? All im etting is: (Default) REG_SZ (value not set). What did you do to get rid of it? Reply Kodani | November 27th, 2011 How do you remove it every I do it wont delete let alone move Reply Vanessa | November 30th, 2011 The same with me as Janette. I do not have a "Load" option as well. All it says is: (Default) REG_SZ (value not set). And I am not getting an error message. I just want to know how to fix this registry desktop error.
