Vista - How to remove program from Uninstall/Change?

I should have mentioned that I tried the regedit trick.
Ironically the name of the program is StarForceRemoval.zip Its parent co is
Protection Technology Russia.

Nothing resembles it in the regedit.

Thanks,

Kerry

Scott:

Is there any chance that MS will bring out a Vista
model of tweakUI ?

Oops I lied. I didn't do the find game only looked in Software. Went back and
did find and find-next 5 times and all sorts of crap in System, not software.

Thanks all. I believe it's all gone

I have no idea. I can only guess. But based on past experience I'd
guess yes. When? Eventually.....

Thanks all for the help in removing StarForce, however the same steps won't
remove Microsift IntelliType Pro 2.2 which is listed in my Uninstall or
Change program list.

It is not listed in my Program Files folder.

When I select to remove it it only offers "change."
When I click "change" it reads, "Setup cannot continue because IntelliTytpe
Pro 2.2 is not supported on the operating systsem.

1) I tried reinstalling it but get the same message.
2) From regedit I entered Microsoft IntelliType Pro 2.2 in "Find" and "Find
Next" until there were no more instances of it.

Then I looked in Uninstall and the darn thing is still listed.

Any suggestions?

Thanks, Kerry

Sorry bout that. I sometimes get confused with how to work these threads.
Never have liked them.

Do you think I should start a new topic specifically on how to remove
IntelliType Pro 2.2 from my Remove or change list?
