Try booting your computer into safe mode and running your antispyware to see
if that will help. You need to tap F8 key repeatedly [one a second] while
the computer is booting up but before the operating system loads. Always try
add/remove programs before doing any registry mod. If that does not work you
can simply try deleting the file/folder from the program files folder. If
you delete the folder you may not need to delete the entry from the
registry. If you are not familiar with registry editing them do not do such
unless you absolutely have to and then only with explicit instructions if
possible. It is not all that hard to edit the registry but I prefer user
learn on a test computer and not their main computer. Windows 98 does
however allow you to restore the registry from a backup that it keeps on
hand if things go awry. See the link below for more on that and you are
never too old to become a little knowledgeable about anything. --- Steve
