I've got a partial installation (froze), and a full installation on drive
C:, i.e., "windows" and "windows.0". Anyway, "windows.0" is the keeper.
But I cannot delete "windows" due to a file, "Flash9b.ocx". I've changed it
from a read-only file severa times, attempted in safe mode, removed
Macromedia Flash Player in Add/Remove Programs, but I still cannot delete it
so that I can remove "Windows".

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion. But, it didn't work. Maybe blasting powder... ?

The ActiveX control is registered. The system thinks that it's connected to
another process and won't remove it.

Open the run dialog and type "regsvr32.exe /u Flash9b.ocx" (no qutoes). This
will unregister the control then you should be able to delete it.

You can try "Unlocker". Installs as an Explorer extension, right click on
the file, Unlock then delete, move, whatever, the offending object.

Just tried it. This was the result:

LoadLibrary("Flash9b.ocx")failed - The specified module could not be found.

I copied the error msg. exactly.
