Hi John,

I assume that you are using Dia 0.96.1-9. If you are using a different
version, please specify it.

I just tested the chemistry lab shapes again in a fresh installation -
without problems.

The Chemistry Lab shapes are distributed in zipfile format, but Dia
cannot use shapes out of a zip file.
Thus the zip file cannot cause any problems with your Dia installation.

How did you

a) install the shapes? (To which PATH did you extract the files?)
b) tried to uninstall the shapes?

Note that after installation and after uninstallation, you'll have to
restart Dia in order to see the effects

> for uninstalling it. no doubt it is my error. how do i get back out?

This depends on the way you installed the shapes. There are two ways
for the installation.
If uinstalling Dia is a possibility for you: The installer allows you
to remove all related files.
Note that you'll loose all your Dia preferences in the process.

Did you try to install the shapes using the diashapes assistant? It is
available from

http://dia-installer.de/shapes.html

and automates the shape installation. Note that diashapes will not be
able to fix Dia error messages
(installation of shapes might fail). So my recommendation would be to
try the following:

* Uninstall Dia, removing all files
* Install Dia
* Install diashapes
* Run diashapes to install the shapes you are looking for
* (Re)start Dia
