XP Add Remove Programs Utility
firewire 12.07.2007 20:56:01
Hi
I removed a program using the "uninstall" option for the program. I did this
rather than use the subject because there was an issue when I tried to do
this. I also cleaned up any traces of the removed program from my computer
(empty folders etc.). However, when I returned to the subject I noticed that
the program appeared there. When I tried to remove it I got an error message:
the program can not be removed because it does not exist. Whats going on
here; how do I remove this vestage from the subject? Thanks.

Go back into Add/Remove Programs and try uninstalling the program again.
It will finally give you the option to remove it
from the list. You may have to try a few times.
