Error in init file: File error: "Cannot open load file", "pending-del"

[abcd]

I get this error on startup, regardless of whether my _emacs file is loaded:
Error in init file: File error: "Cannot open load file", "pending-del"

Show version gives:
GNU Emacs 20.3.1 (i386-*-nt4.10) of Wed Oct 14 1998 on TORONTO

This is a Win98 box.

I started getting this error at a point when I had not made any changes at
all to my setup, including my _emacs and elisp stuff.

There are no files named or containing pending-del.

Thoughts?

I think this file comes from XEmacs. Some part of your customization
is for XEmacs, I think.

Does "emacs -q -no-site-file" work? If that works, but "emacs -q"
does not work, then the problem is in site-start.el or default.el.

Also try "emacs -debug-init" for more information on the error. Maybe
that helps you to locate the problem.

You seem to be using XEmacs, because that package is not part of
Emacs. I found it from xemacs-packages install dir:

n:\bin\emacs\xemacs\xemacs-packages\lisp\pc\pending-del.el

Most likely your load-path (which C-h v see) does not contain that
directory. Add it with:

(require 'cl) ;; Not necessary in XEmacs
(pushnew (expand-file-name "the-path") load-path :test 'string=)

The pushnew will prevent mucking your load path if you reload your
Emacs startup files multiple times.

Do you get the error when you invoke Emacs with the -q option? How
about when you invoke it with the -q and --no-site-file options?

It's probably loaded by default.el or site-start.el.
