I've thought about doing that, but everything else works fine and I 
didn't want to reconfigure the menu, just want to get rid of one object. 
After I click ok on the error message the system runs fine.

Any other ideas, maybe what lines in some files I could simply remove 
the reference to the bad object?
I've looked and can't figure out which lines they are, all it says is 
applet 1 - applet 10 and some hex codes which I can't figure out.

Hmm, Alex
