When you do this, do you currently have AVG running on your desktop (you know, is the little icon there in the right hand corner of the screen)? If so, try exiting the AVG program before attempting to uninstall.

uhm, i think it might be running, but if i remember correctly, when i started the installation process the avg icon disapeered from the sys tray...so idk...when i have time to try that ill gert back, but any more suggestions?
will 7.5 take care of deleting 7.1?
