One thing about uninstalling stuff, then re-installing.

After uninstalling?
Run a Defrag on the Hard Drive.
THEN re-install.

Here's the reason why you do this.
When a file or files are deleted or uninstalled
they are NOT actually removed.
A setting in the FAT (File Allocation Table) gets set a certian way.
Which tells the Operating system it's gone, don't see it.
Now, at times if that file remains and we re-install that file,
the Operation system says
HEY! It's quicker to just change this setting!!
Now the OLD file is active again!!
And if it's bad?
CTD!!!

Un-install and do a Defrag.
And let us know what happens.
