Angry Unable to remove

Ok, here's one for your pros out there :
Whenever I try to remve certain programs off my laptop, I get the response "unable to find log file", thus the program remains displayed on my programs list.

Any hints on how to remove it completely ?

Thanks in advance

Make sure you are logged in with the same XP user account you were when you first installed the program. This problem can also occur if the program's folder is deleted before you run the uninstall program. Try installing a fresh copy of the program.

I don't know which OS you're running, but you can delete the directories. There's one catch and it has to do with the Windows registry (at least w/ 98). Go to Run ... and type in Regedit. Then type in the name of the program or directory (you might have to try a few times) and delete the entry - called a key.
