re : Tried removing older version, computer turned off while doing so

How can you uninstall something with the computer switched off?

Have you done this? In Windows to uninstall a program:

  • Control Panel > Programs & Features.
  • Select Mozilla Thunderbird
  • click on uninstall

Yes, I did that but still will not install properly. Thanks for the thought

Thanks for allowing me to get back to taking care of work instead of my wife's computer - which I am an amateur on !!!
