Same Program Installed Twice: How do I Safely Uninstall one of them?

I was unable to get my original configuration settings for WinZip 9.0 after trying to get rid of the new XP SP2 notification message windows.

To make a long story short, after going back to a Restore Point from a couple of days ago, I now have WinZip listed TWICE in C:\Program Files (WinZip & WinZip(2)).

But WinZip is only listed once in Add/Remove Programs. Is there a safe way to remove one of these programs or should I not worry about?

Thanks in advance.

I would just uninstall the one you have then delete C:\Program Files (WinZip & WinZip(2)) and the reinstall winzip.

Yes that seemed to have worked and it's what I should have done in the first place!

Thank you
