Answer 4

Start>My Computer>Add/remove programs.

If this doesn't work, you can try removing registery keys under regedit.
The registry value for this could be under":
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/SOFTWARE/MONEYFIESTA
or
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/MONEYFIESTA

Be careful if your going to change registry values. I can't say for sure that the above keys are correct. If your going to try this, make sure you have someone else (such as a support techinical) to OK this first.

Answer 5

Go to your control panel and go to add/remove programme
