| 345856 | 2005-04-17 00:21:00 | img.photobucket.com Some entries in the add/remove program list I can't remove. It doesn't even say when was the last time I used it. Some programs on the list work fine, but then again like 3/4 of the add/remove list have no "REMOVE" button. It just says rarely. Is this a problem in my registry? :confused: |

| 345857 | 2005-04-17 00:31:00 | Have you scanned for viruses/spyware etc. You could scan your registry with RegScrubXP found here (www.majorgeeks.com) give that a try and see how you get on. | Overdrive_5000 (4950) | ||

| 345864 | 2005-04-17 09:42:00 | The problem isn't that the program isn't uninstalling, but the problem is there's no REMOVE Button for like 3/4's of the items on the Add/Remove program list . All it says is rarely . It doesn't tell me how much space it uses, or when was the last time I used it, it just says rarely . There's not remove button . :@@: |

| 345865 | 2005-04-17 10:29:00 | Run the Registry Editor (REGEDIT.EXE). Open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\ Microsoft\ Windows\ CurrentVersion\ Uninstall. 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, | pctek (84) | ||
