The computer has had SystemWorks
removed but when starting up, the
message appears that the windows
registry or SYSTEM ini file is requesting
c:\progra~\symantec\cymevnt.386, then it
proceeds to open in Safe Mode.

There is no reference to the symantec file
in system.ini. Since the program has
been removed, I can't uninstall it properly.

Where do I go from here?

If you're using Windows 98, run msconfig and look at the Startup tab. You may see it there. Uncheck it.

Altrenatively, download Startup Cop, a free utility, from here:

(no spaces in that URL).

It'll tell you where in an ini file or the registry it's trying to launch from, so you can delete the entry.
