Thanks for all the help...however I was unsuccssful with most of the
suggestions...probably because I'm computer stupid! But...I finally tried
turning off UAC then selecting the items, holding down the shift key, and
pressing the Delete button on the keyboard. (I never was able to "Allow
Permission" because the program wasn't listed properly). Thanks again...now
I hope the replacement program installs good...and I'm back to normal.
Havae a nice day. bobg
