Click on the [+] next to Uninstall and a branch will expand under it, revealing all of the applications currently listed under Control Panel - Add/Remove Programs. Simply highlight any unwanted entries (with a single left-click) and hit Delete. One note about looking for your application in the Registry. It may not have the same name you see in the Add/Remove Programs dialog. If you're unsure about which entry to delete, you can usually click on a likely suspect in the list in the left pane to see a more thorough description in the right pane, Wow, only a few programs show under the uninstall branch. :badpc: Like McAfee shows, hijackthis shows, but alot of other programs are missing. |

| 345867 | 2005-04-17 19:56:00 | I'm using System Mechanic Pro, and it has an uninstaller feature on it. It has two lists, Listed Programs and Programs installed not listed on Add/Remove. Alot of the programs in the Installed not Listed on Add/Remove used to be on the Listed Programs, and those are the ones that I don't see on the Windows Add/Remove programlist. I think it's a registry error. |

| 345868 | 2005-04-17 20:53:00 | This maybe similar support.microsoft.com CAUSE This problem can occur if the program you installed creates a registry key name that is longer than 60 characters in length. Add/Remove Programs only lists program names it locates up to the point it encounters this situation. Altho this fix is for NT, not XP. |

| 345869 | 2005-04-17 21:25:00 | I would delete using round about methods till you reformat. Something is corrupted and hard to find unless a level 10 programmer. I am a level .002,so not much help :) |

| 345871 | 2005-04-17 22:54:00 | I hate to be the one to tell you this but I had the same problem a few months ago. In the end I had to format and re-install everything. I tried un-installers, registry tools spyware removeres etc but nothing worked. I also used system restore but that didn't work either. Try doing a system restore and see if that's fixes anything.. apart from that I would say you're looking at a reformat at this stage. cheers chiefnz |
