about how to completely remove a Money installation.

I hope someone out there has a few suggestions for a pretty intractable
issue I have had for 9 months now.

I get a preiodic install dialog that appears and disappears within seconds.
This is just a pure annoyance, and it started when I installed Service Pak 2
without shutting down all the programs open at the time.

I have since uninstalled and reinstalled SP 2 twice and the issue has not
been resolved.

Recently I purchased a new version of Money online, downloaded it and
attempted to install it. However, it refused since it said there was another
installataion of Money that had not finished.

I believe that my shutdown issue is related. The only way to shutdown is to
press and hold the power button. The software shutdown will hang when it
gets to the "Windows is shutting down" message.

I have already purchased Registry Mechanic under sthe suspicion that there
was a rogue registry setting. I ran the complete check and repaired all 500+
errrors and nothing has changed.

Also, I read another person's thread regarding shutdown issues and attempted
to install uphclean-setup.msi but it WOULD NOT install because it said there
was another installation taking place.

Thanks for your attention.
