Hi all, me again

After much thought, I decided to go with the newbb 2 forum as I had the old 1.4.thingy and have used phpbb for many years now. I uninstalled the old one in my control panel of XOOPS and deleted the whole /modules/newbb directory from my ftp account.

uploaded the new newbb 2 and went into the system admin > modules section, there it was listed with Polls, News etc etc.. I click it and it asked for confirmation
(BIG greensplit screen)
and it said DO YOU WANT TO INSTALL THIS? yes or no, I clicked YES and it says...

Installing NewBB 2.0

Table 'xoops_bb_categories' already exists

Unable to install newbb. Error(s):

Any help please?..

you can use the phpmyadmin from your cpanel or as a module on XOOPS and directly access your database!and be sure you drop just that table and not the all the tables in your database!

Are you sure you will throw away all your old posts?
If yes, just delete all "xoops_bb_..." tables.
