Default 'Installation corrupt' during re-installation

Hi there.
I'm getting that samme 'installation is corrupt' message, only I HAVE HAD A SUCCESFUL installation already. I downloaded some bad music-video file that I tried to play on my machine, and the file gave an error that made the direction folder shut down... I wasn't able to delete the file, move it or anything - it just gave an error message that forced me to click 'ok' and then it shut the folder down.

After I'd now deleted limewire with the program manager in the control panel it still hadn't deleted the limewire folder from my documents. I deleted the main folder manually and tried to re-install limewire, and now I'm getting the installation error 'corrupt'.

I'd tried to fix it by re-installing. I've also tried the backup intaller - still doesn't seem to work.

I'm suspecting that musicvideo file to be the root to the problem.... Is there some way (without formatting) that I can rinse my 'my documents' folder fr stuff that's hidden someplace there.... If there are rests of that idle file that I downloaded, it should be deleted properly (hmm virus??)

I'm gonna visualise for you where the file was at:

My document -> Limewire -> Saved -> the bad file

I've deleted the complete 'limewire' folder, as I wasn't able to do anything with the file itself, nor the 'saved' folder, without getting an error.

Please somebody, I hope you know this problem!!

Thanks in advance
