>From another newsgroup:

"This happened to me. You will need to delete the CPR
program from Add/Remove
programs. The catch is you will need to do a system
restore back to when the
program was not expired. If you just remove the
program the problem will still
appear. I hope you have Windows XP or Me to do the
system restore."
