I suppose you are running on Windows.

The program is called prime95.exe. If you installed from the autoextracting executable, there should be a "Uninstall" option on the contextual menu. This option will uninstall the program and all the relative stuff.

Before uninstalling, check on the program menu for the "quit GIMPS" option: this way you will do a clean update of the server.

If you already run part of your assignment, there should be backup files named Pxxxxxxx.bu on the installation directory. You can copy your exponent number and the backup files on a common place (like dropbox), so that your work won't be lost.

Let us know about it...
