Hi, to 3) you have no ArticleClassic.nb not in $TopDirectory/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/StyleSheets ?? strange to 4) the uninstallation depend on the operating system you are using. For MS Windows you can simply use the System Settings | Software Uninstall. "not touch auxilary files" mean, that the files in your preferences directory and files that you installed later (like a application package) are not removed. Regards Jens "AES" <siegman at stanford.edu> schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:dcsceq$q2n$1 at smc.vnet.net... | 1) I tried editing the Default style sheet, without making a backup | copy of same, and may have screwed it up. Is there a way to restore the | default Default.nb notebook? | | (E.g., by downloading a copy? I don't seem to be able to get at | individual files on the Mathematica 5.1 install CD) | | 2) There seem to be two copies of Default.nb notebook in my Mathematica | installation. Why? -- and which one is the "real" Default.nb? | | 3) The Format >> Style Sheet menu command also displays about 15 other | styles besides Default, such as "ArticleClassic" and "DemoText" among | others -- and they seem to function. | | But, there are no "ArticleClassic.nb" or "DemoText.nb" notebooks to be | found in my current Mathematica installation . . . ???? | | 4) There's always a possibility I might want to do a clean | reinstallation of Mathematica to solve this (or other future) problems. | Looking ahead to this, the "Getting Started" booklet that came with v. | 5.1 contains installation instructions, but no instructions for | uninstall, or reinstall -- and I know there are auxiliary files | scattered in other places on my HD. | | It does say that if I install 5.1 over _previous_ versions, it will | _not_ remove auxiliary files from the earlier version. Does this mean | if I reinstall it over itself, it will not remove the auxiliary files | from itself that the initial install seems to have distributed in | various places on my HD? |
