Oops, removed "Oscar"???

[J & P Beres]

I was trying to repair a program in the "Add/Remove" section and
accidentally clicked on Remove for a program I think was called "Oscar". I
have no idea if it's something my PC came pre-loaded with or if it was
something I had via a download of something else. I'm experiencing a few
problems now like icons not showing up in my start menu and some Java things
not running. I reloaded Java and that didn't help. Any ideas?

Search google for Oscar in an attempt to find out what you deleted.

Use "Restore" function. Start | All Programs | Accesories | System Tools |
System Restore | Restore My Computer to an Earlier Time
Restore to sometime before you uninstalled "Oscar".

Thank you all for your help. I did try "Googling" it and came up empty
handed. The Wikpedia article helped enough that I believe I'll have to
restore back to the other day BEFORE my brain didn't send the correct signal
to my mouse finger....

Wikipedia gave me this for OSCAR. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OSCAR_protocol
Do you use AOL perchance?

Good Luck.

Whatever it is, if it came with your PC then you will either have
installation disks for it or it can be re-installed from the recovery
partition.
