news:(E-Mail Removed)...
So, I got tired of seeing Pinball installed on both my systems which
Windows XP with SP2 never gave me the choice of installing or not and which
doesn't show up in Add/Remove Programs or its subset Add/Remove Windows
Components. I think Pinball was added in when I installed SP2 but I'm not
sure?
Anyway I did something about it and am now in trouble for it. After a
little bit of deleting Pinball folder content and Registry work Pinball is
gone but so is Add/Remove Windows Components--at least it cannot run and
construct my Windows Components list...because it cannot find "pinball.inf"
in the \Program Files\Windows NT\ directory.
BTW, the folder itself cannot be deleted. I wonder why... Well, hey...
Is there any way of fixing this? Do I really have to have the folder
Pinball and its Pinball.inf file present for Add/Remove Windows Components
to work?
Thanks for any help straightening this out.
Billie
