OK.....obviously you uninstalled Firefox, but it left some files and folders
behind.
Personally?? I would just delete them via Windows Explorer (what you are
calling C: Windows, I imagine) and hold them in the Recycle Bin for 2 or 3
daysto make sure they are not needed (they aren't, but it is a good practice
to do it this way).
Then download Firefox again. This time, download it *unopened* to a folder
that is specifically for that purpose. I have one called *Downloads* where
I put all the programs.....and then open them from there.
The reason for that is if something disagrees with WinME, I have the last
one that worked properly in this folder, and I can revert to that.
When you get Firefox up and running, it asks you where to put the
downloads....I chose a separate folder, just so I know whether FF or IE
downloaded them.
Any other questions?
Cheers....Heather
