I cannot remove the uninstalled progam from the remove or
add program on the control panel. What is the problem. My
operating system is Windows XP. May be I can get some help
with this problem.
 
Run the Registry Editor (REGEDIT).
Open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\ Microsoft\ Windows\ CurrentVersion\
Uninstall, and remove any unwanted keys under "Uninstall."


Note you can save the registry key first by:
On the File menu, click Export.
In the File name box, type SaveKey, and then click Save.
Or create a system restore point prior to editing.
Note: If the registry key is not there, you can simply create one by going
edit > new.
