If all else fails, see if the hp software CD has a CCC folder, usually under Util folder. Usually there is an uninstall or uninstall_l4 batch file. If you run the uninstall batch file 4 times, it will perform just like the uninstall_l4 batch. Which means it is supposed to remove all components installed from the CD. I have never tried this on a server, just XP computers. It usually fixes the problem, 1 time, it hosed the system.

Its not listed in add/remove and nothing can be installed/uninstalled because I get a message that an install is in process and I have to complete it first. Im thinking I will make everyone an admin just to get around whatever it is and then try to uninstall, or maybe rip something out of the registry. Anyone have an easier/quicker fix?
