This is a realy wired one.
Done exactly what you said and got rid of c_dilla from my registry.
checked registry all gone.
went back to add and remove programs and ther it was.
Titled c_dilla licenced management system.
so tried to uninstall it and it came up with the following message.
Removing this software may prevent other products fromworking correctly.
Went to search for this file it was in a protected folder, checked in the box which allows you to see hidden folders and files and there it was an exe file for uninstalling. so what do you reckon should i delete this program in add and remove program or not.
the actual name of the unistall file is cdunin16.
See if you can get your teeth around this beauty.
I know this is not realy the forum for this type of thing but this may be a problem with copy protection.
thanks alot for your time.
