Hi, I am running a Windows 95 box. I am trying to install a program.<br><br>I checked memory, and there is plenty after install.<br>I did, however see the application still on the machine from a previous install.<br><br>Please do not recommend the following:<br><br>My Computer Contol Panel Add/Remove programs been there done that.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>Please don't also say go to Registry HKey_local_machine and remove it there, didn't work either.<br><br>Any suggestions at all,please write back, I am tempted to reinstall with Windows 98.<br>Melba<br>
 
If you have tried those two avenues, where exactly do you &quot;see the application still on the machine from a previous install&quot;? Also, what application is it? <p>Clive<br><a href=mailto:clive@digitalsky.co.za>clive@digitalsky.co.za</a><br><a href= > </a><br>I assemble and sell these things.
 
When you say &quot;see&quot; do you mean that a directory is still there with the applications name and a few files within it? If that is the case that is just left over junk that the unistall programm thought was still good or could not remove<br><br> <p> fenris<br><a href=mailto:fenris@hotmail.com>fenris@hotmail.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
 
Yeah, It still displays a few files and directories left over in the Add/Remove programs. The program is YPPI -Yellow Pages Publishers.
