Thanks Tanel: I did mention in my original reply to our OP that in the event of being too eager to click the Uninstall option, it's time to get down and dirty with the registry (although I also mentioned that there are service uninstallers out there that are shareware, and which will do at least part of the job for you -you still have Oracle stuff in your registry after that, but that is frequently not a major drama if you are about to re-install very much along the same lines as your first install).
