You didn't follow the uninstall instructions. Remove all the files. If that doesn't work, reinstall the product, and this time follow the uninstall instructions EXACTLY.

There is about 130 files isn't there scattered in various folders?

Do all need to be found and removed or just specific ones?

[sump]

Again, FOLLOW THE UNINSTALL INSTRUCTIONS. It will take you 2 mins to do it. I've done it hundreds of times.

Uninstall MGC Chat, it's not compatible with VB4.

[angeljs]

Hi, yes I have...I uninstalled it before I upgraded to VB4, that's why I can't understand this error.

[HansMuenchen]

Hello,

Thnx for the answer

Hans
