This specific application's a vista codec package that installed properly
but won't unintstall... did you see the screenshot attachment with the error
? C is surely not a network drive... I don't even understand the nature of
the error...

You can sometimes get the uninstall to work by reinstalling the program and
then uninstalling it. I have noticed in Vista that if I use the
compatibility wizard that most of the time I am unable to uninstall the
program. If you used that, don't on the reinstall. I have had several
uninstall that way. Good luck. I know in XP there was an uninstall program
available to assist with this type of situation, but don't remember what it
was or if it would work with Vista. I'll check my old email and see if I
can find it if the above doesn't work.

Sounds right. Thanks Colin. Don't know if it will help here, but solved
several of my problems in the past.

That's because you are using the web interface. Most regular posters here
are using a newsreader, like Windows Mail.
