I installed PPTTools, BIG mistake.

It worked fine in my main account, but in other accounts, I am getting an
error saying that I must grant read/write access to the RnR\PPTToolsv2
directory. Needless to say, I have.

So I tried to deactivate the addin. Still get that error in other accounts.

How do I remove this completely from my machine and get rid of all of these
problems?

TIA

Bob

Actually, I think its one of the best add-ins available for PPT. I suggest
you talk to the people that made it, I am certain they can help you.

Sorry you're having troubles with this, Bob.

I'm the author (though it'd be understandable if at this point you're
thinking "perpetrator"), and I'd be more than happy to either help you get
the addin working in your other accounts or delete it from all of them.
It'll be quicker to do it by email or phone than here, especially since the
server seems to be having problems at the moment.

email steve at-sign pptools dot com

Please mention which of the several PPTools add-ins you've installed, along
with your PowerPoint and Windows versions.

First, you might want to give this a look if, as I suspect, you're using
Vista:

What about Vista? How to install PPTools.
http://www.pptools.com/FAQ00133.htm

Short version: reinstall the addin but choose something other than the
default directory under \Program Files ... use a folder that you (under all
of your accounts) have read/write privileges to.

Hi Bob, sorry you're having problems with this.

Give me a shout; steve at-sign pptools dot com

I'm the author. I'll be happy to either help you get the problem fixed or help
you remove the add-in. Be sure to let me know which one it is ... there are
several ... and also what version of PowerPoint and Windows you're using.

It'll be quicker and more efficient to do it over email or by phone.

Thanks.
