When I click on my "C" drive all I see is this, no program files., HELP(pleaase)

Type "C:/Program Files" in the Address bar and see what happens.

Maybe it's hidden. Try attrib "C:Program Files" -h from a command prompt. (There should be a backslash in there, but the system strips it out.)

If you are using Microsoft Windows XP, then do a system restore to restore your computer's state before you installed the program. What System Restore does is it undoes what you did before the restore point that you select. It can recover your computer from bad drivers, bad software and other things like that. Depending on your System Spec., It may take awhile to do. Windows will reboot and before the computer shuts down and starts back up on its own, System Restore will restore your computer to the point before that point. Then your computer starts running again, but when the computer is logging on, the changes that have been done by System Restore will be applied. This will not harm any documents as long as they are stored in the "My Documents" folder. **Note: You WILL lose any software that was installed after that "program" was installed.
