How to remove the reference of file in the Registry?

by tehmina.akhtar . Updated 18 years, 3 months ago

When my windows (Vista Business edition) starts, it comes up with an error mesg saying

“Could not run or load C:\Users\Tina\AppData\Local\Temp\byvwx.exe specified in registry. Please make sure the file exists on your computer or remove the reference to it in the registry”

It?s been few weeks since I am getting this mesg. I have searched for the ‘byvwx’ file in the registry but am afraid to take any action as a small mistake can create lot more problems for me.

I am not sure that if that file is of any use to me, but I can see in the registry editor saying the Device name against that file is HP Officejet 5600. This reminds me of trying installing the Hp printer on to my pc few weeks back, which was not a success as the HP software didn’t support Windows Vista.

I guess the problem arises from there. So in that case I will not need that file and the reference needs to be deleted from the registry. But HOW should I do that????
Thanks in Advance.
