I was installing a program on it and the install failed about 90% of the way through due to permissions issues. re-ran it again as admin and had the same issue, but now I'm left with one of the services related to the app stuck in the services menu and I think it's the reason I can't reinstall the app correctly. any thoughts on how I can ferret out where it's running from and remove it from the services menu?
