tc, Did you try running it from the start/run command in windows like PW suggested? Use the browse button to find the file, then manually add the -u parameter. If you try dos again, make sure you choose the folder (dos directory) where the executable file, probably trayman.exe, resides. Be sure you are in the right folder by knowing the path. This can be complicated because dos doesn't recognize spaces in folders like "Program Files", or anything longer than 8 characters. For those directories you need to type the first 6 letters of the name followed by ~1 Example changing directory: dos prompt says: c:\windows> you type: cd\progra~1\trayman This looks like below c:\windows>cd\progra~1\trayman Press enter. If this is the directory then type trayman -u This looks like c:\progra~1\trayman>trayman -u Dos gives error messages when the command doesn't execute. If it says: "Bad command or file name," the file is not in the current directory (folder) of the dos prompt. If it says Invalid directory you've typed the change directory command wrong. Try some simple cd commands to get the hang of moving around in dos. If all else fails, you can remove the registry entries with various programs. I like regcleaner. It's not regclean by Microsoft. Hope you can eradicate the pest. Esteban
