I'll remember the help files issue, and thanks for that.

Question: Why did you choose Revo rather than to use the W7 add/remove 
application in the control panel? I have used W7's add/remove only once, 
for another application (that didn't work as advertised) and that worked 
fine.

Is there some LO quirk that requires a separate removal program beyond 
W7's native add/remove?

I use W7 64 bit Home Premium with AMD quad core processor, 4 GB RAM, 
SATA disk.
