Re: reinstalling CA

[Larry Bolhuis <lbolhui@xxxxxxx>]

James,

   He done a bad thing.....

   This will require messing with Windows 95 Registry. If you've never
done this before it CAN ruin the PC.  Having said that, I personally
have never ruined one! (well that way anyway....)

   Bring up the Registry editor (REGEDIT command)

   Expand the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER, then expand Software, and finally
IBM. Next Right Click on Client Access and select Delete.  At this time
the system should forget most of what it knew about CA.  I say most
because there are lots of other entries splashed around about .DLL's
etc.  A reboot may be required for this to take affect. 

   This should do it.  I of course did NOT test this on my own system
but would be interested in your results.  After all can it get any
worse?

   (Note that for all of this I am assuming WIN95 CA here - haven't seen
W98 Version yet!)
