But there must be a reason why the vendor installed Python. So removing it might break any service program preinstalled by the vendor of that machine. A good advice about installing an uninstalling software is: If you don't know what it does and… 1. …it is not installed then don't install it. 2. …it is installed then don't uninstall it. Or things may break. Ciao, Marc 'BlackJack' Rintsch -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
