What's wrong with this win.ini file ???

Hi!

Last 3 times SPY BOT Search & Destroy run there has been a message about win.ini file: It is being held by another Process and cannot be analysed.

Examining it I found some strange things I've ever noticed before

Here it goes:
; for 16-bit app support
[fonts]
[extensions]
[mci extensions]
[files]
[Mail]
MAPI=1
MAPIX=1
[MCI Extensions.BAK]
aif=MPEGVideo
aifc=MPEGVideo
aiff=MPEGVideo
asf=MPEGVideo What the heck are these MPEGVideo lines ?!@#$%?
asx=MPEGVideo
au=MPEGVideo
m1v=MPEGVideo
m3u=MPEGVideo
mp2=MPEGVideo
mp2v=MPEGVideo
mp3=MPEGVideo
mpa=MPEGVideo
mpe=MPEGVideo
mpeg=MPEGVideo
mpg=MPEGVideo
mpv2=MPEGVideo
snd=MPEGVideo
wax=MPEGVideo
wm=MPEGVideo
wma=MPEGVideo
wmv=MPEGVideo
wmx=MPEGVideo
wpl=MPEGVideo
wvx=MPEGVideo
[SciCalc]
layout=0
[MSUCE]
Advanced=1
CodePage=Windows: Ocidental
Font=Verdana
[{activex0-0111-1111-1111-111111111111}] What does this mean ?!@:?
timeview=182958
lastday=20050404
dayview=1
[dmscd]
version=1
[BC4XUser]
User1=Combo1
UserCount=1
CurUser=Combo1

So: which lines can I delete? Which ones should I delete?

Thank you for the usual wise clues!
Peter

The MPG listings are file types,should be OK.
The problem I see is the active x control listing.
Active x entries do not belong in the win.ini file.
I woul say there is an active x control planted on you system
doing who knows what.
You should follow these instructions and have someone
check your log.....

Thanks

Thanks to you both Leroy and Purple for answering. My Spy Bot S&D was outdated; then I downloaded and installed version 1.4 and everything went fine. Now it goes to the end without any messages. What is bothering me are those lines referencing an Activex file:

[MSUCE]
Advanced=1
CodePage=Windows: Ocidental
Font=Verdana
[{activex0-0111-1111-1111-111111111111}] ?!@#$%¨&??
timeview=182958
lastday=20050404
dayview=1


Anyway, thank you

Peter
