Very odd this, I thought I had uninstalled everything, I uninstalled the Epson arc photo software, the acrobat version 5 component, the Epson something or other, cant remember the name, BUT there is still a programme called Espon smart panel that is still on prog. list, there is no size value though, I did the CC scan, registry scan, and logged off, restarted and on trying to reinstall the Epson CD rom it comes up AGAIN with the message: earlier installed programme must be removed, which I click "yes" for and then it opens several windows to remove the components but remains on the Epson smarkt Panel that is is removing "0 %" and then just doesnt do anything, left it for about 20 mins and still nothing, then I had to open windows task manager to shut this programme down, Its very odd, I still cant remove the Epson smart panel in prog. list by trying to uninstall it, really Pi**sed that I cant get this to work on this particular computer as this is the only one I have room next to to have the great big scanner working (Didnt realise they were so big) PCDIMWIT

Ah!! the Epson smart panel seems to have disappeared now, after using the Revo uninstaller, Thanks for that!! there is still a folder in C drive in the programs called "Epson" which contains 3 folders called: "copy utility" photoprint and Scantoweb - what should I do here?? remove this Epson folder from the program files myself?? I am nervous of putting the Epson CD rom again until I know whether to remove these folders from the program files, they mustnt be an actual "programme" as they are not in the "add/remove programs" in the control panel?? is that right?? thanks PCDIMWIT

wht should I do about these three files that are still in the C drive Programs folder? are these in any way connected to the Epson programme that was so difficult to remove? there are 3 sub folders here called: "copy utility" photoprint and Scantoweb - I have not tried the Epson CD rom yet as I am not actually with that XP laptop at present and am still nervous of trying the CD rom until someone tells me what I should do with the 3 files in "Epson folder that is in the programs folder on C drive? Thanks PCDIMWIT
