System lock-up when running Orphan Finder

[Robert Rumfelt]

Configuration Information:
Version: NU95 version 2.x
Operating system: Windows 95b

I have an orphan file named vmtd.VxD which causes Win95 to pause
during boot-up. I attempted to used Norton Registry Editor's Orphan
Finder to remove it but each time I run it, my entire system locks up
and I have to reboot the system.

What's the deal???

Robert,

This usually indicates damage in the registry.
