You cannot remove the DEVLDR app. because it is a system file and even when you do manage to remove it in SafeMode, Windows ME will replace the file for you. It won't use much in the way of resources if that is your concern. Just leave this one alone.

sheryla,

Devldr16 provides Creative Labs' sound card support for DOS programs. If you don't have any DOS programs (which is highly likely if you are running Windows ME) you don't need it. I have seen several posts from people who have deleted the file in DOS and experienced no ill effects.

You might try moving it from the location it is presently in to a separate folder or renaming it to devldr16.old. Run your system for a few days and see if anything unpleasant occurs, and if not then go ahead and delete it.
