Well, that is a totally reasonable explanation. How can the install truly be "finished" if it isn't completed? The "Uninst.isu" file is one of the last files written to your hard drive after installation. The program WILL reinstall, but not via the Autorun program, because the Autorun program believes that CM WAS installed, since it checks some entries in your registry. However, you can simply run "Setup.EXE" from CD1, and reinstall the program that way. jm
