If you can find the files, you can generally get rid of them. [delete] If you delete something and a program doesn't run anymore...reload. If it don't look like it belongs there, blast it off the map. If that doesn't work, corral friends and family into a safe place, blast the map off the map and load a new one. Kill everything and let the CDs sort it all out. That's the 'shotgun' approach to computer problems.
