1301392 2012-09-16 22:59:00 Sometimes my 'fiddling' gets me into trouble:crying

Last night I inadvertantly installed a programme I don't want on my 'puter. When I try to uninstall it through 'Add/remove programs' I get this message:

'Please wait until the current program is finished uninstalling or being changed' and I can't continue. Can someone point in the right direction to 'fix' this please?

TIA as always. :)

1301394 2012-09-16 23:29:00 I had a similar problem yesterday trying to get rid of babylon. I also got the 'please wait till program has finished uninstalling' message. I did a reboot and tried again. Babylon is now gone. Bobh (5192)

No - that didn't fix it either. The programme was 'MP3Tags' I think. The Company is called NCH, which threw about three other programmes/toolbars and rubbish onto my 'puter. :(

1301399 2012-09-17 06:34:00 try booting into safe mode and uninstalling it from there. Sometimes that will do the trick. Nick G (16709)
1301400 2012-09-17 06:43:00 Not to be glib, but search for "NCH uninstall" without the quotes in Google. There's plenty of advice. kingdragonfly (309)
1301401 2012-09-17 08:38:00 Mmmm - I don't think it is as simple as that. It manages to obstruct most of my efforts to remove it. Revo Unistall won't do it... And comment online isn't great either. :(

And I do know I'm not thinking all that great at the moment (life's events and such). But... I've been round the traps with this one.
