I am unable to uninstall Sonic DLA and even though I disable it on startup
via msconfig, it still comes up complaining that the drivers are
incompatible. This is OEM IBM Thinkpad software for writing DVDs.


Also, I am unable to uninstall fully the MS Office Accounting Software.
Says files are unavailable for copying...

Tried in safe mode, but cannot uninstall in safe mode.

Any ideas?
TIA
 
David--


It's always a good idea to use the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility prior
to uninstalling major programs or troublesome ones. It does not uninstall
the program, rather it paves the way for it. It gets rid of registry orphans
and corrupt .dlls in the uninstall and future install path.

Download it here--it's often used by the Redmond Softie setup people--at
least when the flocked onto the Office groups because of an MSO Cache
problem with Office 03 SP1 for droves of people they touted it.

You highlight every entry for the program one at a time, then hit the
button.

Also and I don't know if you will, if you get the chance to right click any
executable connected with the uninstall, make sure you Run as admin.
