This is probably a freak accident, but I seem to be unable to uninstall TextPad 5.20. Is there a way to do this manually. It shows up in Add/Remove Programs, but there is no Uninstall button. In Revo Uninstaller, is does not even appear. Any help would be appreciated.

Maybe if you reinstall textpad into the same directory then you might be able to uninstall again. If not you could delete any folder on your harddisk named "Helios" and "Textpad 5" if you installed into the default directory. Then delete the following registry keys:
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Helios"
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Helios"
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{B6EC7388-E277-4A5B-8C8F-71067A41BA64}"

You should find the "Textpad 5" folder under "Program Files", but you will also find a "Helios" directory under your user profile.
