First I'd try reinstalling the offending app. From the path I'd guess it's 
something like Carbon Copy or similar. Then try uninstalling it properly 
from add-remove programs.

In Win98 you may also find references to the .vxd in system.ini that can be 
removed. And of course run Regcleaner ( http://www.jv16.org/ ) and delete 
all references to it.
