Solve : can't uninstall a program?

Answer»

I have the game 'Nicktoons Racing'. I tried to uninstall it, and the uninstall was interrupted by a short poweroutage. Now, the program is still on the computer and when I try to run it, the uninstall screen comes up with the WINDOW- would you like to remove the selected application and all its components?- with an ok and a cancel. If I click ok, it flashes the uninstall bar at 100% then nothing and the game is still there. I can't remove it or play it. I have a rebuilt computer with windows xp. I don't know much else.How long ago was it that you tried to uninstall the program, and then got an outage?

FlameI don't exactly remember, about a month.Re-install it, noting the install directory, then un-install it.
If you have any leftovers after that then just DELETE them.
You can also search your REGISTRY for leftovers after FIRST backing it up and/or run a registry cleaning program.
Lots of programs leave little poops in your registry after being un-installed.
Some are intentionally left there to stop you re-using limited shareware over & over.the program does the same thing whether I am trying to install or uninstall.Try re-booting the computer then delete anything that's left over.

Don't try and edit the registry yourself.
