Thank you S. Sengupta. The information on your link was very informative,
easy to follow and helpful.
I used the Wild Tangent uninstall download and it was successful. I couldn't
find the variable file you talked about, but the error message has now gone
and I think that is ok?
I did have Spybot Search and Destroy, I deleted the file from its "Recovery"
also. However, I never ran it in safe mode before. I have done so and it
picked up and cleared another file.
Thank you again for all your help.
