I had msconfig set up for selective start up items. When I installed Nero 7 program, the InCD program will not load, UNLESS I change msconfig to ?Load All Drivers.? Now I have an error msg "cannot load C:\iomg_nt\register\remind.exe" file. Remove it from the Registry. "
I cannot find this in the registry under the iomega zip 100 portion. I can find it on my C: but if I remove if from there, will that remove the reference in the registry?

If I could get msconfig back to selective startup, I could just uncheck this program, but then I lose Nero InCD.

Any suggestions?

In regedit, use the search function, and search for remind or remind.exe

Then, take a close look at the key before deleting it.

I recommend that you either back up the registry, or at least set a restore point before you perform this edit.

Firstly that File is not in the Registry but a reference to it is so that the computer can find the correct startup files and then load the system.

The reference should be in the startup section of the registry as well not specifically under the Iomega section. Instead of manually trying to edit the Registry I would suggest that you run some form of Registry Cleaner over it and remove any missing shortcuts and the like in the Registry. You could try the trial version of System Mechanic for this at

Also if you are still using the Zip drive it may be incompatible with the IN Cd program contained in Nero 7 you may need to upgrade the Zip Drives software or remove it completely to overcome any conflicts but as I don't know which version of the Iomega Software you are using I'm unsure what is actually happening.

The Nero 7 Web Page may have some known problems and workarounds listed there to cure this problem.

Thanks for the suggestions. I did a registry cleaner and it did not appear. So, I decided to "go for it" and looked in registry under startup and deleted an entry. I still got error msg, so looked for the complete path,& deleted entry. I also found a third registry entry, which I deleted. After all this, the error msg is gone, InCD loads (after I discovered that I had "Selective Startup" in MSCONFIG. Nero InCd will only load if I select "load all drivers". Anyway, thanks for the suggestions, as I didn't know where to start. I sent an email to Nero and hope they put tell people they have to have "load all" in MSCONFIG.
