Help Still Installing?

I have an app that I upgraded "yesterday". I didn't think much about it after I did the upgrade. I turned off my phone last night before going to bed. Turned it on this morning and everything is working normally. I checked to see if there were any updates and this one app says it is still installing. I am sure it is some sort of error. I looked in my "Task Killer" and it doesn't show it running. I am wondering if I should try uninstalling it and do a reinstall.

Any and all sugestions are appreciated.

Just long press on it and press cancel download. Go into menu, settings, manage applications and clear data and cache. Reboot your phone and then try to download the app again. See if that helps

Thanks for the feedback. Let me tell you what the resolution was.

1. Using my Task Killer I was able to uninstall the program. However, the phone still showed that it was trying to install the app update.
2. I used MyBackup Pro to restore the app from its previous version. I rebooted the phone.
3. The Market told me there was an update (same as last time). I told it to update and all went well.

Thanks again,
Norman

I just believe the market gets stuck like that every once in a while.

Glad everything worked out:)
