Something along the lines of: for win9x use "close program" dialog reached by "CTRL-ALT-DELETE"; for win2k, XP use "task manager" (reached unexpectedly or by right clicking on the grey bit at the bottom of the screen). Kill/close/stop anything with "java" or "freenet" in the name. I am assuming nothing important is likely to be using Java. Then try again with uninstalling. Manual un-installation will have to await someone who knows something about the Windows installation, but I don't think it used to put anything in the registry, which makes it fairly easy.

Oh, and reboot often, but make sure there is nothing in the StartUp folder that is going to restart Freenet when you reboot.

Hi..had a couple of correspondences with you and appreciated the
throroughness of the replies. If not you, one of you. In the email you strongly suggested
that, due to technical reasons, i should uninstall Freenet. The problem is
that everytime I try to follow the clear process, I always get the same message
- "You must turn off Freenet before you can uninstall", or the equivelant,
despite the fact that not only have I already turned it off, but have also
confirmed the fact that I'd done so.


Please tell me what the necessary steps are to uninstall Freenet.

Thanks,

chris
