When uninstalling TinyTERM Plus from Windows NT 4.0, 2000, XP or Vista, you can’t uninstall NetUtils while CenLPD is running. CenLPD runs as a service on those versions of Windows. Only a user with administrator rights can stop the service so it can be uninstalled.

To shut down CenLPD, do the following:

1. Right-click on the “hammer-and-wrench” icon in the task bar. This will be next to the system clock.
2. Select “Stop CenLPD” from the pop-up menu.
3. Right-click the icon again, and select “Exit.”

Once this is done, you should be able to uninstall NetUtils. If it shows the service as running still, you’ll need to stop it from Control Panel:

1. In Control Panel, open the Administrative Tools and double-click Services.
2. In the list of services, double-click CenLPD.
3. Click the Stop button, then click OK.
4. Close the Services panel.

Uninstall will work normally after this.
