Brian and others with Legacy re-install problems,
I have used, with excellent results, a free program called Revo
Uninstaller, which removes traces of an uninstalled program from the
registry. You might take a look at something like that, which should be
more targeted, thus safer, than a

I might recommend that you backup the file AND modify the extension (the part
after the .) by changing or adding a letter. That way the uninstaller won't
recognize it as a Legacy file and leave it alone.
