I can't uninstall Office 97 need advice

duhmez

office 97 was installed on these machines at some point in the past. I try to uninstall it now and it says, Setup cannot find the the files on 'e:\' from which I originally installed the product. My CD rom is drive d: and I nbelieve it was installed from over a network share, although things have been moved around.

ATI tools recommended

mezron

I've been partial to nvidia stuff for several years now, but today my ti4200 bit the dust. I'm pretty sure that it was heat that did it in. This is the 3rd nvidia card I've had thats had heat problems (chintzy fans, etc).

Grandia 2 PC video issue

Artemis-kun
