Try to uninstall beta1, then reinstall RC4. If that still doesn't work, try
removing the conduit's Registry key manually.

Look in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Pilot Desktop\ApplicationX

where X is a number starting at 0. When you get a bingo, delete the
ApplicationX key and reinstall.

The fundamental weakness of Java Swing GUIs is that they do not use native
OS widgets. (Swing handles GUI events and  drawing itself.) I don't think
this is a problem for JPluck as GUI responsiveness is not critical for these
types of application. You might get better performance when you use
jpluckx.jar rather than jpluckx.exe. (The exe disables DirectDraw
acceleration.)
