Hi, this is an Event Log. you should just be able to go to system 32, right click and delate, are you sure Tune-ups all gone?

From MS

NTFS Partition

1. Click the Start button, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click Services.
2. Select the EventLog service and click Startup. Change the Startup Type to Disabled, and then click OK. If you are unable to log on to the computer but can access the registry remotely, you can change the Startup value in the following registry key to 0x4:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Eventlog
3. Restart Windows.
   
   NOTE: When the system starts up, several services may fail; a message informing the user to use Event Viewer to review errors may appear.
4. Rename or move the corrupt *.evt file from the following location: %SystemRoot%\System32\Config Name it something like TU.txt
5. In Control Panel Services tool, re-enable the EventLog service by setting it back to the default of Automatic startup, or change the registry Startup value back to 0x2.

Now see if you can delete TU.txt by right clicking, pressing delete.

hi i used a program i have called jv16 power tools which has a very good reg cleaner anyway i searched for the file but had to delete keys very carefully but i have removed the file. system is running very good do you think i have solved the problem, should i do what you typed or will my system be ok.
the entries i have left are as follows

HKLM\system\currentcontrolsetset\control\nls\muila nguages\rc2\tuneup.exe\
HKLM\system\controlset003\control\nls\muilanguages \rcv2\tuneup.exe\
HKLM\system\controlset001\control\nls\muilanguages \rc2\tuneup.exe\
HKCU\software\microsoft\office\12.0\common\languag eresources\

Yeah, remove all of them but the bottom one, theres still parts on the PC.
