Re: Can't Uninstall Microsoft Links 2003

Not to continue this argument, but you, sir, have altered something with
Links 2003, whether you know it or not. Here's a Microsoft Knowledge Base
article which is titled, "Games that require that the original product CD is
in the CD-ROM drive to play":
http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;243258

Under the Applies to: section, please note that Links 2003 is listed.

End of thread.
