Invalid switch /SIMPLEUI

I have an old IBM Thinkpad 760XL running Win98SE. It is working fine, but on startup I get this message, "Invalid Switch /SIMPLEUI". As I said there are no problems with the laptop, but curiosity is driving me crazy. I searched the site here using what I have in the title but didn't get any matches. Anyone know what this is, and how I can fix it?

Thanks

Click start->Run and type AUTOEXEC.bat and look for the line thta has the switch.

If you don't see it, repeat the process except use CONFIG.SYS

Thanks for the suggestions, but didn't see it in either file.

Run msconfig and examine the startups.
