I do not use the installer, I use the zip file. I assumed that 
everything would be overwritten and any old stuff would simply go 
unused.. but it seems it doesn't. If the other person used the 
installer then it is a problem with dmd itself not designed 
properly and using files that it shouldn't. I simply unzip the 
zip file in to the dmd2 dir and replace sc.ini... that has been 
my MO for since I've been trying out dmd2 and only recently has 
it had a problem.
