Can't uninstall or reinstall without the (un) installer working correctly. Of course
that was one of the first things I tried. Anyway, I have resolved the problem. See
other posts in this thread.
The only way I cured it was to look in the event viewer and replace the file it was
missing.
Good luck.
Oh, and sorry, you are correct. I meant My Network Places. Same thing as Network
Neighborhood, though, just a different operating system.
Good luck.
