    is your network using a sever or some form of network attached storage to get its program data from? in this case the directory could have got a bit mixed up along the way, if you do nt use a server try restarting your computer pressing and holding F8 and booting up in safe mode, from here log in as administrator and try removing the files from here. Hope this helps Dave :cool:

    When your installing the programs make sure the directory matches the one of your hard drive for example C:\ and not sommat random like Z:\
