I tried this Add/Remove approach with my toolbox problem. Did not work.

program for toolbox, it tells me as much when I try to use it.. How I
get back to the SW2005 version is the problem.

I think really you need to be a reinstall of 05 - clean out the SW reg
entries and any other lingering SW files.You will find details on the SW
