I did a search on MOBSYNB.EXE and I am not sure what it is? Nobody has ever heard of it before.

I hope it isn't some sort of virus or something? Maybe one that does SYN attacks?

[link|http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q188867|Microsoft's KB on Windows 98 not starting] lists that it could be a virus, but I doubt it in this case. Most likely just a bad EXE file?

Only other thing that I can think of is to create a *.REG file that deletes the RUN entries and place it into winstart.bat or whatever gets run before RUN statements. Maybe it will edit the registry and take out the bad entries? Or find a way to rename the RUN as "RUN-" or "RUN--" so it ignores it?
