You apparently missed this message...


Sorry. I missed it. I was reading and replying to messages in the
order received. Your announcement was next in line. When there are a
dozen new messages in a thread, it's difficult to read them all, and
then go back and try to find one worthy of my comments. Maybe I
should read messages starting from the bottom.

Poking around, I discovered something had put the machine into
"selective start", probably a virus scan I ran. Going back to normal
start, error message went away.

Congrats, nicely done. I would not have associated the error message
with that problem but it makes sense. Selective Startup is like safe
mode, where un-necessary services are not started. In that mode, the
dot.nyet libraries are not loaded, so any application that needs them
will complain.


Yep. Spybot asked for a scan after boot, which is what I think
provoked the message.

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
