Well, if you're sure you installed a previous version, it should be in your My Documents/SimCity4/Plugins folder. It could be in your Program Files/Maxis/SimCity4/Plugins folder, if you moved it there, and still able to be used in the game. If you were using it in the game, it would have to be in one of those two places. Anywhere else, it wouldn't matter. If you think you may have renamed it, you could try a search for files with 'NAM' or 'Network Addon Mod' in the name.

To uninstall the older version, just delete the folder once you find it. You could also try the Cleanitol program if you're familiar with it. The new download will have a file to use to delete obsolete files.

Finally, if you don't remember installing NAM before, you might not even have it installed as it doesn't come with the regular game.

To install the new NAM, place it in the My Documents/Plugins folder. You might want to read through the enclosed documentation so you can decide which options you want to use.

Hope this helps...

    If you've never installed it before, just drag the folder that is Unzipped into the ~Documents/SimCity 4/Plugins folder, then remove the components you don't need, as directed in the Instructions folder. It is quite straight forward when you follow those instructions (which are not linked to from the read-me. If you need assistance, simply ask.
