Reinstall the program that needs this file from the original setup. That should do the trick. It's not a Windows file.

Thanks Kees, checking and found an article stating that it is an OS problem. Thank you for your input.

I don't believe it's an OS problem, I don't believe it's an "OS critical error" as some link you found states and I don't believe in any socalled fix except simply reinstalling it.

From http://www.processlibrary.com/directory/files/rtl70/413439/
"rtl70.bpl is a VCL70
belonging to Borland Package Library
from Borland Software Corporation.


Non-system processes like rtl70.bpl originate from software you installed on your system."

That sentence, by the way, is the only useful information in that link. Forget all the crap about registry scanners and speed-up-my-computer programs. They only serve the makers to make money. They're useless for you.

Take a look for fixes online, I am pretty sure there are workarounds. As Kees stated it is not a Windows file, it is registry related and could have been created by a virus, a bit of research might be required. Good luck!

I found another article that mentioned problems with IOrbit Malware, which I had installed on my computer...so I uninstalled that program and my error code messages disappeared. Thanks again, for replying to my cry for help.

We don't advice to disable system restore. Quite often it's the easies solution to a problem.

It closes the door to easy fixes and often you find it forces folk to reinstall the OS instead.

Bad advice in my opinion.
