Sandy...How did you uninstall?? To properly uninstall a program that isn't listed
in the add remove is to run the uninstall manually.. by going to start/run and typing
c:\windows\uninst.exe -f"[Location of .isu file]"
Example:
C:\Windows\uninst.exe -f"C:\Program Files\Sim Town\DeIsL1.isu"
This will open the uninstall shield, and remove the program properly...maybe you
just need to re-install and then properly uninstall it again?
