So the sum total is that no-one knows where control panel stores the list of add/remove
programs. I also have an entry on that list which I have zapped with regedit and
several times hit uninstall, inserted the CD it runs but like the fairground bunny
it pops straight back up again. TWEAKUI doesn't offer any further actions that I
can see but I would welcome being pointed in the rigth direction. Problem is that
I acnnot install a new version of the software because the installer thinks there
is/isn't another version already there........
Any help most gratefully received
