(If whoever installed it did the 'right things' and copied the install files to the HD. Otherwise, you will have to find a CD and do the reinstall from that). It usually keeps any programmes that are there.	Guest (0)

Backup the Registry files first in case things turn to custard and you need to go back to the originals - run Regedit then choose Registry > Export Registry File; name the file. Cleanup utilities are Regclean (? downloadable from microsoft.com) and Regcleaner (www.jv16.org). There are probably others.	Guest (0)
