(caveat: it WILL leave a lot of junk, registry entries, probably scramble some of the program files, etc. But it shouldn't interfere with a re-installation. After uninstalling, I would suggest defragmenting your disk, which will probably overwrite the scrambled files. (IIRC, you have Win XP? From Start=>Programs=>Accessories=>System Tools=>Disk Defragmenter.) Then re-install from your disk. Let us know how it goes, or if you need any more help! Good Luck!
