Re: uninstall not working

Some programs don't have a built-in uninstaller. Which program is it? You
might have to do a manual uninstall.

Re: uninstall not working

Oh - have you tried right clicking for the context menu?

Re: uninstall not working

Or right clicking on the program should give you the uninstall option.

Re: uninstall not working

Well, if it's any comfort to you, you are not alone. There is someone else in
these groups now with a severely mucked up Programs and Features. And there
have been others before. I don't remember exactly, but I don't think they found
an easy solution. If the program does not come with an uninstall option on the
Start Menu, or in its program folder, and System Restore does not work, then
perhaps ***shudder*** a reinstall of Vista may be necessary.

Re: uninstall not working

I had the same problem, tried a few uninstall programs, but only one came
close to solving the problem, I think you should try it: Advanced Uninstall
Pro from version 8.3 by Innovative Solutions. Good Luck!
