When you uninstall AcountRight, parts of the software might be left behind which can interfere with future AccountRight installations. For example, after uninstalling AccountRight it still might be shown in your list of installed programs. Or maybe you're trying to install AccountRight but a message advises that AccountRight is already installed - but it's not!
This can happen to any program, not just AccountRight, and it's related to the way Windows uninstalls programs. Because it's related to Windows, Microsoft have an online Fix It tool which can automatically fix the problem.
