Gotta love crappy uninstallers. Sometimes if you run the original installer, it will have a remove option. Sometimes if you look in the programs (C:/program files /xxxxxxx/) directory there is an uninstall program (sometimes it is called unwise) there. That is the safe stuff.
If not, you have to uninstall it manually.
Manually uninstalling is a little advanced because you might have to clean up things not in the regular directory. Registry entries hang around a lot, and most guys don’t even know that there is a registry. So be ready if you still want to try and don’t say I didn’t warn you.
So, you might have other problems after you do this, but you can probably delete the directory in c:program filesxxxxxx Delete the whole directory.
It sounds like it put a plug in of some type in a word processor and it can’t find it, so open Word Perfect or Word and see if they are giving you any problem after you delete the directory. If they do there is probably an Add-In that you need to disable. Help will tell you how to do that but it isn’t hard.
Most likely after you delete the directory, if you try to Add/Remove Programs it will tell you it is probably already uninstalled and it will be removed from the list.
If you get some weird problem (and you are more likely than not to have a weird problem) email me and I’ll help you, just make sure you send me the error and what you were doing when you got it.
Try “Advanced uninstaller pro” program
can you be more specific, which program you can’t uninstalled….?
