Default Program uninstall doesn't work.

Sounds like the path has been corrupted or you've 'partially' removed Starry
Night and therefore WinMe Add/Remove has 'lost' some of the programs
installation details.

Try re-installing it again and then uninstalling it. That should remove it
cleanly, including registry entries - although it *may* leave one or two
minor benign remnants behind, e.g. empty folders etc.

When I try to uninstall the Starry Night application, the "Problem with
Shortcut" window says: "The item 'unvise32.exe' that this shortcut refers
to has been changed or moved, so this shortcut will no longer work
properly." Then it offers to change the name of unvise32qt.exe so I can

use
it instead. It belongs to Quick Time, and I doubt that that is the right
approach.

I had previously uninstalled this program and installed a new version, but
something went wrong that caused Outlook Express to balk on startup. I
attempted to uninstall the new version of Starry Night and ran into the
above error for the first time; then I just deleted the program folder and
System Restored to about a week previous, before I had started any of that
activity. That fixed Outlook Express but broke NAV, so I uninstalled and
reinstalled Norton to fix that. Now the original version of Starry Night

is
back and working, but has the uninstall problem that first appeared with

the
new version.

I can't find that file in the .cab files, or on the WinME CD, or on the
Starry Night CD (where I assume that it actually originates). Can I get

rid
of the program by deleting all references to it in the files and in the
registry? I assume those references in the registry were installed with

the
application, not with WinME, since few windows users would have use for

such
a program.

I'll appreciate any ideas.
