Dear Pavs,

As expected, I'm having trouble right off the bat (which is usual for this
computer dummy). I put the CD back in and clicked "Install."

It then asked if I wanted to:
1) Modify and change what I already installed
or
2) Reinstall what was already installed
or
3) Uninstall

Naturally I tried #2. Nothing happened, so after 30-seconds. I tried #1. Again,
no choice of switching back to the Shredder GUI.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance?

Steve
