Hi Phil ...
Well, (and I offer this with caution) assuming the 'installer' doesn't
give you the option to uninstall you might have to have a poke about
in the registry.
First delete any folder created by the install c:\program
files\linksys etc (just the linksys bit!)
Export the complete registry as a backup.
Then search for 'linksys' and / or other related keys in the registry
and selectivly delete them. You may find it will then install again.
(I'm not going to tell you *how* to get in there as if you don't know
that maybe you shouldn't go in there in the first place ..)
All the best ..
