    Can't fully uninstall program


    I had a program that was giving me trouble, I tried to uninstall it from the control panel and also from settings/system/apps & features. It will not uninstall fully. The program has 486M for size but 66M is still in someplace. Trying to uninstall only goes halfway on the progress screen then that screen disappears. The only place it can be found is in uninstalling programs in the control panel and . in settings, apps & features. I can't find it anywhere else in the hard drive. I even tried to find it VIA the command prompt. Asking Cortina still gets me nowhere. If I could just find it on the hard drive, I would just delete it. I think it has something to do with a driver. When asking for more details before saying "yes" this is what I get:
    C\progra~2\common~1\instal~1\driver\7\intel3-1\|driver.exe"/ I can get as far as the "driver\7\intel" but that's it. Any ideas? The name of the program is ULEAD Photoimpact 8. I know it's old but I'm used to it and I like it. I can't put it back in until I get the remainder out.

    Program will not fully uninstall

    Hi,

    To fully understand the issue you're experiencing, we would like to know the program that you're uninstalling. Have you made any modifications/configurations on your computer prior to the issue? Also, send us the screenshot of the exact error message you're
    getting.

    Regards.

    Program will not fully uninstall

    One possible reason why you can't uninstall this program is because it's still running. You can have it stopped first (from running) before uninstalling. See the steps below on how to do so:

    • Press the Windows key and type in "task manager"
    • Click on Task Manager and go to the Processes tab.
    • Look for the app you want to uninstall. Right-click on it and tick on
      End task
      .
    • After doing this so, try to uninstall the app.

    Let us know the outcome of this suggestion.

    Have you tried reinstalling in compatibility mode?

    I didn't see any program name when I first read the post. That must have been added when they did the edit.

    Can't fully uninstall program

    Winuser: Yes, I added the program name after you mentioned it. I tried compatibility mode and that didn't work. What I managed to do was to go through all programs on the drive looking for anything with photoimpact in it. I found one, copied it to the desktop in a new folder, deleted it and tried to reinstall the program. It went in. Not perfectly but in nevertheless. Tried to uninstall it hoping it would completely remove so I could do a clean install but it now won't uninstall at all VIA control panel, settings and also not through System Mechanic which I have. It just doesn't want to leave me for some reason. I'll keep playing with it for a few weeks and if I get it all out and back in, I'll post it.

    Another trick is to install the program again incompatibility mode then uninstall it.

    Tried the Revo uninstaller and it worked great. Was able to put the program back in after and that now works just fine. Thanks for the suggestions.
