lorne Posted October 17, 2005 CID Share Posted October 17, 2005 What program? Is it still listed in Control Panel>Add/Remove software list? Try uninstalling it that way if it is still listed there. You also may want to try a virus and spyware scan while in safe mode as some viruses and spyware won't be picked up unless in safe mode.

lorne Posted October 18, 2005 CID Share Posted October 18, 2005 I think he cleaned it out in registry, but if not good info Sure ya haven't got a install disk forgotten about in your drive Also you might be able to disable that program from starting and trying to install when you reboot by using MSConfig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
