I am trying to float an unordered list to the right and when I do the bullets do not display in IE6. They show up in Netscape 7.
Ah yes. Yet another wonderful difference between IE and and Gecko browsers. With enough experimentation, you will find that the markers for lists are affected by margins in one browsers, and padding in other browsers.
For this case, padding:0 on the ul is the culprit. Adding padding-left:1em lets the bullets show for the simple case you describe. Depending on what fonts and font sizes you select, this will need adjustment.

Can’t find install.log

If you’ve installed stuff that now won’t uninstal,
claiming instead that unwise.exe cannot find
install.log then this will help:
Don’t know what causes it, but you can open a command prompt box, (run cmd) go to the directory where the app you want to uninstall resides and see if there’s an unwise.exe file. Also, check to see that the INSTALL.LOG file exists. (If it doesn’t then that means that it has been deleted or something in which case your best bet is to install the app again and try uninstalling it afterwards)
Then all you have to do is type:
unwise INSTALL.LOG
and the app will be uninstalled… (you will then have to type ‘exit’ to close the command prompt box and may have to delete the directory manually.
