Is it just an empty 'ghost' thing or is it really sitting there eating up 177 HD space? I'd like to somehow exorcise it, ghost or not, or shall I just ignore it? |

Did you uninstall from the Control Panel or Program's uninstall utility?

See if you can use this free tool to clean up the remnants of the program (it's the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility): http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
