jasc interferance

I cannot open My Computer, My Documents, or Control Panel from the Start
menu. The following message pops up:

[You have exceeded your trial period.

This evaluation version will no longer function.

Please click on the "Order" button to purchase your licensed version or the

"Quit" button to exit.]

Then I am taken to this site to order:
http://www.jasc.com/products/dell/j4scs0ft/psp/

(C:\Program Files\Jasc Software Inc\Paint Shop Pro 8\order.html)

I think when I installed a program for my digital camera, it must have
somehow made Paint Shop the default.

Doen't my Dell 2400 have another (the original) program to open these
programs? Can you talk me through how to set it up?

Check the Control Panel>Add or Remove programs if the JASC is listed.
If it is, uninstall it. If not, use Windows Explorer and delete the program
under Program Files>etc. You may also want to edit the Registry for JASC
and delete references to it there also.
Start>Run>type REGEDIT and press Enter. Click Find under Edit and type
JASC when it finds one rightclick and click Delete, press F3 for additional
finds and keep deleting.
