Well, I gave up for today. Guess I'll have to drive back to Sacramento tomorrow, or whenever I find a really good way to remove this nasty thing. This particular computer is used by all the staff, our college interns, and Lordy knows who else - so it has had some really dumb things loaded on it at times. It's also the computer used by Madame Executive Director, so it's important to get it back in operating condition (even though she uses it mostly for solitaire - we give her a hard time about that, but Sister Judy has a much better attitude if she can play solitaire...)

As for the cat, I can't really complain. Since I am surrounded by women and the cat is also female, I have to be on my best behavior.
