Add/Remove did not work in my case and neither did KB928218 although i think
it would be a good idea to create a tool program that does what is contained in KB928218.

They won't budge no matter what I do. grooveintlresource.dll grooveshellextensions.dll groovemisc.dll grooveutil.dll groovesystemservices.dll groovenew.dll OLKFstub.dll The "1033" directory contains most of these and of course I can't delete it until these files are gone. Above that is the "office12" directory and the top level is "microsoft Office" What to do now? |

This typically happens because something is running in the background. You
should be able to rename these files. Or.. you could try booting into safe mode and delete them, or clear msconfig, reboot and delete. -- Thank you, Eric Ashton Microsoft Office Setup -- This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

If that doesn't do it, I'll boot to safe mode. Last week though my computer refused to boot into safe mode. Even the HP tech's weren't able to get it to do that. That's another problem altogether. |

I have a sneaky suspicion that there is probably lots of stuff in the registry that needs to go, but I don't know the best way to do that. |

Well there is stuff in the registry that needs to go. It is listed in
KB928218. You can locate the keys that are listed in KB928218 to delete by going to start, run, and typing "regedit".
