You have to re-download it. Took me 2 seconds to find it on Dell's website. -- "Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you."

For the sake of others who may not know what I'm talking about... sometimes when you can't uninstall a program because some file or files seem to be missing, try installing the same program over the old one and then try the uninstall. It's definitely worth a shot to try if all else fails.

It's definitely worth a shot to try if all else fails. As a last ditch solution, Revo Uninstaller does a good job of uninstalling almost everything shown on the Add/Remove Programs list. It could not remove all of Norton Anti-Virus 2006 on a client's laptop last week, though. But that's Norton. Even Symantec's own Norton Removal Tool would not work. I had to resort to booting with Ultimate Boot Disk, removing all the Norton and Symantec folders (there are quite a few), then running CCleaner to clean up the registry of all the Norton and Symantec sludge...

Ben Myers I use a different uninstaller but I never tried it on Norton's because I know better than to use Nortons <grin>. Of course I know you are probably talking about a client's system as you know as well as I do about Nortons <grin>.
