Uninstalled Program, but Program Name Remains in Program & Featur

I attempted to install a web camera on my Vista computer. I only got a
partial installation so I uninstalled it from Control Panel>Program and
Features (add & remove programs) and it uninstalled. The program name
remains and will not uninstall even though the program is gone. How do I get
the program name from the Program and Feature list?

If you are comfortable working with the registry, here it is
http://support.microsoft.com/default...;EN-US;q247501

Although Windows Vista is not mentionned, it's the same registry key.

HereItIs,

This is exactly what I was looking for when I asked my question. I am not
comfortable working with the registry so will consider a program such as
http://www.ccleaner.com/

Thanks,

Roger

Hi Kuyarog,

CCleaner is a great option. This tutorial will show you some other methods two remove the Uninstall entry to if you ever need them again.

HereItIs,
Although not comfortable working with the registry, I followed the
instructions in your below link and it worked! I was able to manually remove
the program still in my Add/Remove Program List. Thank you again.
