Anyone know what to do next when Add/Remove Programs fails?
I want to wipe my laptop clean, install 1.62, upgrade to CE, then
install the latest beta.
When I try to uninstall TB through Windows Add/Remove I get a popup
window:
AbacusBat! - Uninstall
This will remove AbacausBat! Continue?

I'd never even hear of AbacusBat until now. Just looking at the
website for it, it appears to be some law related program that
incorporates TB.

As am I. But I have not ever *HEARD* of AbacusBat, and certainly did
not install it intentionally. To my knowledge, I have only even had
