Hugh,

Does that mean that you recommend that I try all of her recommendations
except for the Windows installer?

As a side point, I find it interesting that she suggested that I use another
uninstaller. It's hidden away on the driver CD. I guess that's where HP puts
its good uninstallers. Why do they do that?

I also find it interesting that she suggests running the heavy-duty
uninstaller four (!) times.
