As in after I screw it up?  ROFLMAO

Okay, so I need to uninstall this musicmatch.  Reinstall the older version I
have.   Then let it update? OR..Do I uninstall this one, get the newest one
from their website and install? OR do I put in the old one and tell it to
leave it's little fingers off my musicmatch.
