    Command Prompt & Command Prompt Admin

    PowerShell can do everything the command prompt can plus more. Microsoft is moving towards using PowerShell more than command prompt. To find out more information about PowerShell click here:

    HI...HippsieGypsie, Brink... I cleared the event viewer this morning...

    Using the command you all mentioned... It cleared all the event viewer logs. But on reboot, the errors I attached keep recurring...
    So there has to be junk in the registry causing the errors...Thanks Guys...

    I found this a minute ago...
    http://www.desnatec.net/manually-uni...e-workstation/
    Do you all think this should do the trick...
    The workstation I uninstalled was 12.0

    Workstation 8.x/9.x/10.x/11.x/12.x
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Features\A57F49D06AE015943BFA1B54AFE9506C
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Products\A57F49D06AE015943BFA1B54AFE9506C
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\UpgradeCodes\3F935F414A4C79542AD9C8D157A3CC39
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{0D94F75A-0EA6-4951-B3AF-B145FA9E05C6}
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\VMware, Inc.\VMware Workstation
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\VMware, Inc.\Installer\VMware Workstation
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Applications\vmware.exe
    I checked the register and most of this is in it...
    And there are some other files I saw that refer to Vmware... Thanks Guys...
    I just did not want to jump in there and start to delete, without getting some advice...

    I would recommend to create a restore point first to be safe.

    Will do... Thanks Brink...
    One more thing... You think it will be alright to delete anything having the vmware title that is not mentioned on the
    how to uninstall link... Thanks

    Progress report... I'm down to 5 critical errors... But the remaining 5 are not going to easy... There damn stubborn...LOL
    Little side note...This little free tool for finding left over registry keys for uninstalled programs is great.It is 780 times better than CCleaner...Why?
    Because it found 780 bad keys that CCleaner did not see...If you get it to try, Just let it do it's thing after you hit scan...
    It's a bit slow if there are too many bad registry key to compile the report...
