Hey, I just GOT the Windows Installer box popping up looking for the PhotoShop CD.....I haven't HAD Photoshop in Years on this booger... But yesterday, I cleaned up the drive, removing leftover bits of unused files/folders. Ran Add/Remove Software before that.....Still trying to Remove New.Dot.Net....some spyware that won't let you delete it, or Spybot-remove it....it's like a STAIN on your favorite T-Shirt!! and that's when installer appeared......Gotta use the net. Later.
