had subscribed The Weather Channel's "Desktop" program,
but on start up, it takes forever for the system to start
up and the culprit is this program, and it runs in the
background, and I really don't use it.

I have tried to uninstall the program, but I keep getting
an error message.

"WISE UNINSTALL"

"Could not open INSTALL.LOG file"

Can anyone advise me on how to uninstall this program?

Thanks
Amber

Often times, the solution to a stubborn uninstall is just to download and
install again, and then immediately uninstall.

Thanks for the replies. I should have mentioned that I
have tried to reinstall and then uninstall and I get the
same thing.
Something I would like to ask you about, I have a program
called "Eraser" that wipes a program permanently from the
hard drive .... If I tried that, would I run the risk of
possibly erarsing shared folders to other programs?
I'm stumped over this, but this particular program is the
one that takes forever to load on cold boot, and I sure
would like to get rid of it.
Any ideas appreciated.
Thanks
