        I sure don't understand it either but honestly if I do a complete Destructive recovery most of the progams will show as being "new" I strongly suspect that it's in the very first part of the hard drive and is not being deleted

                  Dummy .....It's my opinion for what it's worth ....that you should consider getting another boot disk , and doing a full format ...and then reinstall win XP .......... I see no future in what your trying now...........
                  And this time please let windows install the drivers .......dont attempt to install driver from dos .
