Popup: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library './php_mysql.dll'

[Felecha]

Some time ago I was curious about PHP and installed it from the www.php.net download page. I didnt get too far with it, and maybe a couple weeks ago I was cleaning out junk from Add/Remove Programs and decide "Let's uninstall php, I dont care about it any more." As far as I can remember it uninstalled OK.

Now this week I have been getting a popup when I boot

"PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library './php_mysql.dll' - The specified module could not be found".

I have to guess something is left over from php (but I'm almost certain it did not start popping up right away after the uninstall). I was curious to find the C:\PHP folder still there in Windows Explorer. I tried to delete it and got a message saying that php5isapi.dll cannot be deleted, so I looked for some Service that might be alive with a php name.

Nothing in the Startup Folder, nothing in Run or RunOnce. The Registry (Windows XP Pro) has 2 items, HKEY_CURRENTUSER and HKEY_USERS\Software\Microsoft\Interenet Explorer\Explorer Bars\{*****}\FilesNamedMRU\php...

So I cant figure out how to stop it. No big deal, I can click it away, but it's the kind of puzzle that I want to solve, I always learn something

Any clues?

Well, maybe I fixed it, but I don't know what's behind it. From a google for "uninstall php php5isapi.dll problem" I found one link that referred to IIS, so I stopped the IIS service and then I was able to delete the PHP folder. When I restarted again, the popup did not come.
