aries <aries@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> hunted and pecked:
I am still waiting to find someone who may have had a similar problem:

My Search tool will not find anything except GDI, but on my add/remove
programs list is GdiPlusUpgrade with absolutely no other information or
way to change or remove it. GdiPlusUpgrade does not exist on my computer
according to the search tool. When I went to knowledge base to find out
how to remove something that cannot be removed otherwise, there is no
windows>current version that I can uninstall on the registry. I am
really at a loss to figure this out and I don't know why I should have to
pay to get help on it. Seems like a bug to me.
