If it won't uninstall .. then follow my directions & delete the prefs folder. I wonder if it's saying that b/c it detects another version in the background & b/c they can't both be removed the same way it gives that error ... else the other or this LW version is still active. Hold down Control-Alt-Delete keys & process manager & see if there's any other LW listed. If there is then my suspicions might be true. ALso you'd need to remove the LW icon from the program tray before you could delete it anyway. A reboot then uninstall LW. Then search your computer to see if other versions exist that are actually a program.
