    Deleting a DOS file
    « on: August 21, 2008, 09:04:08 PM »
    I tried to delete the "iolo" program file through DOS.  It tells me access is denied
    and gives prior to this C:CLDMA.LOG

    The "Iolo" stuff has really messed up my computer.

    Why didn't you uninstall it normally?

      The "iolo" program was originally installed on WINXP the normal way.
      After awhile I uninstalled it the normal way through the control panel.
      I tried to install XP service pack 3 and it came up with errors due to the
      "iolo" program that was supposedly completely uninstalled.  I thought I
      might be able to delete the leftover files through DOS since it didn't work through
      windows.

      You cannot simply delete the programs files. It needs to be uninstalled normally.

      I suggest doing this in Safe Mode.
