Disapearing Program

[kenn jolemore]

My Mom uninstalled turbo tax and when it asks if you want to delet files that may be shared she said no . When the computer started back up everything seemed fine untill she went to use a program called print shop from broderbund and found it missing. I had her ck for files or the program in the search and nothing was there.I had her search for all turbo tax files and delet them. That is done as there were several files left behind.
She went to reinstall print shop and at half way through it stops and says it can not install because of something about the fonts(she was not clear about that)
Could someone suggest a way to get her streightened out as I am lost with 98se (and many other things)

If TurboTax was uninstalled with no problems, and even if the
small remnants leftover remained, it shouldn't have caused
another program to be removed. I guess one would have to be there.
As for the font, get the name and try System File Checker
(Start/run/SFC) to see if that font name comes up and can
be extracted from the Windows 98 CD.
If crazy font, try GOOGLE search for a download of that file
and put it into the Windows\Fonts folder.
Given just this info, good luck.

evidently ther is a folder with a program (file) from macromedia called c-dilla that needs to be removed .I am not sure if this is relevant or not . Will get a exact error report from her and post it asap. Thanks for the ideas.

Some kind of CD protection feature. I don't see much good information being said about it. Found this:
Copy proction may be a necessary evil, but the Macrovision/C-Dilla LMS system has gone too far when;
1. The Program being installed and Macrovision/C-Dilla DO NOT INFORM THE USER that this software is being installed,
2. That Macrovision/C-Dilla in any manner ATTEMPS TO HIDE THEIR INSTALL from install monitoring or registry tracking software,
3. That Macrovision/C-Dilla DOES NOT UNINSTALL with the original software, when it is removed/uninstalled from the system. Because C-dilla requires a separate uninstall, which in all likely hood, the user never knew existed.

This is getting more interestiing by the moment...(post)
