I can't remove or add a program from my computer-add/remove because it says
"SOMETHING" is already unistalling. I have no idea what that can be so can't
fix it.

Which program are you trying to uninstall?

What is the *exact* error message you're seeing?

I am wondering if trying the uninstall in Safe Mode would work in this
case. DO you think so Daave?

would that stop whatever the computer from thinking it was installing? so the
computer would be "back to normal?

Have you tried restarting your computer?

How large is your hard disk and how much free space.

What Error / Warning reports ( if any ) appear in the System log in
Event Viewer when you last booted the machine?

Please post copies of all Error and Warning Reports appearing in
the System and Application logs in Event Viewer for the last boot. No
Information Reports or Duplicates please. Indicate which also appear in
a previous boot.

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Control Panel,
Administrative Tools, and Event Viewer. When researching the meaning
of the error, information regarding Event ID, Source and Description
are important.

Part of the Description of the error will include a link, which you
should double click for further information. You can copy using copy
and paste. Often the link will, however, say there is no further
information.

(Please note the hyperlink above is for illustration purposes only)

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double
click on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a
button resembling two pages. Click the button and close Event
Viewer.Now start your message (email) and do a paste into the body of
the message. Make sure this is the first paste after exiting from
Event Viewer.
