  1. Removal of Installation File Remnants after Uninstall


    After noticing certain issues with a program after I downloaded and installed it (CyberLink Media Suite 15 Ultra), I decided to uninstall the program and re-install it from the back-up disk. But when I uninstalled the program, the installation folder remained in the Program Files folder along with a couple sub-folders and files (several MB in total).
    How do I delete these files and clean them from the registry? There was a tool from Microsoft that was supposed to be able to do this, but it requires knowledge of the Program ID as it is listed in the Registry (one of those alpha-numeric codes).

    (TO ANY MICROSOFT PROGRAMMERS/ENGINEERS READING THIS: You need to make a simple-to-use method for this sort of issue. It should work like this:
    In the File Explorer menu, there should be an option where you highlight an installation folder remnant and its entire contents will be removed/deleted, as well as all of the Registry entries associated with that folder being deleted.)
    KISS= Keep It Simple, Stupid.

    :)

  3. Need help to remove Nvidia remnants after installing ATI

    So this is my first ATI card. I removed the nvidia driver, ran driver cleaner pro in safe mode.

    However in my Program List in the Control Panel I have these 3 items I cannot remove:

    -Nvidia Performance
    -Nvidia Physx
    -Nvidia System monitor

    Whenever I try I get the message "This software requires an Nvidia device to operate" and the uninstall gets aborted.
    I can't uninstall them in Safe Mode because they require the Windows Installer service to run.

    Any clue?
