User accounts on Windows 2000. <sigh> I know this is a sin, but I run as administrator all the time on that box because half of what I need to do fails if I am logged in as a simple user. I did think of that possibility and even though I was sure I was logged in as administrator when I installed emplode I did go into all my old user accounts and look to see if the uninstall was available there. It wasn't. I will check the hyperterminal connection when I get back to my homebase and let you know how that worked.
