Thanks...just wish I had read that post before installing. I had however disabled the earlier virtuemart extension before uploading this one.

I am wondering why would this affect the entire site.

Can you guide me on the next steps or do I have to re-install Joomla as well?

rename the com_virtuemart folders.

THEN,

unzip the package.

and move the adminisrator/com_virtuemart   and   public_html/com_virtuemart     folders over.
