you won't need to do that. just delete the folder, usually in Program Files.

wrong.

uninstlalation files usually carry instruction to uninstall things from the registry, system files etc. so if u don't actually uninstall it; it'll be leaving behind all these unncessary things in ur computer and therefore, slow it down.

the folder isnt there anyway
nothing in programs, but its still on the computer

Get the CD.
It should have a uninstall feature.

reformat. Then install linux (debian)

then its highly unlikely that your software will work at all... not a lot of commercial software supports linux.

this windows vs linux talk, should be in a new thread.. not this one.

its heaps better than windows! its just that for many commercial software developers its not economical to support linux. ps.. there are other free software alternatives though.

ps.. i should realyl not be sidetracking this thread.. if you want to discuss it, then start a new thread.. and i'll move my post there.
