I did the same thing as Dan wrote. And, manual delete works.
Thanks

(I think it was 8) over the top of 7 using the zip file for 8, without
uninstalling the RC7 (or RC6, I forget just which RC it was) first. I ended
up with two sets of fbserver and fbguardian in my services list. I fixed it
by finding the original RC's instsvc program and running it to remove the
services.
