Try reinstalling it, then attempt to uninstall it again.

If you are talking about ones that are included in windows and it dont have a link for un installing and you are computer smart this might help you

For some reason, Microsoft has removed the ability to specify which Windows components you want to install during interactive Setup, and when you go into Add/Remove Windows Components in the Control Panel, you still don't have the full list of applications and applets you can add and remove. Thankfully, this is easy to fix.



To dramatically expand the list of applications you can remove from Windows XP after installation, navigate to C:\WINDOWS\inf (substituting the correct drive letter for your version of Windows) and open the sysoc.inf file. Under Windows XP Professional Edition RC1, this file will resemble the following by default:



[Version] Signature = "$Windows NT$"

DriverVer=06/26/2001,5.1.2505.0



[Components]

NtComponents=ntoc.dll,NtOcSetupProc,,4

WBEM=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,wbemoc.inf,hide,7

Display=desk.cpl,DisplayOcSetupProc,,7

Fax=fxsocm.dll,FaxOcmSetupProc,fxsocm.inf,,7

NetOC=netoc.dll,NetOcSetupProc,netoc.inf,,7

iis=iis.dll,OcEntry,iis.inf,,7

com=comsetup.dll,OcEntry,comnt5.inf,hide,7

dtc=msdtcstp.dll,OcEntry,dtcnt5.inf,hide,7

IndexSrv_System = setupqry.dll,IndexSrv,setupqry.inf,,7

TerminalServer=TsOc.dll, HydraOc, TsOc.inf,hide,2

msmq=msmqocm.dll,MsmqOcm,msmqocm.inf,,6

ims=imsinsnt.dll,OcEntry,ims.inf,,7

fp_extensions=fp40ext.dll,FrontPage4Extensions,fp40ext.inf,,7

AutoUpdate=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,au.inf,hide,7

msmsgs=msgrocm.dll,OcEntry,msmsgs.inf,hide,7

msnexplr=ocmsn.dll,OcEntry,msnmsn.inf,,7

smarttgs=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,msnsl.inf,,7

RootAutoUpdate=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,rootau.inf,,7

Games=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,games.inf,,7

AccessUtil=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,accessor.inf,,7

CommApps=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,communic.inf,HIDE,7

MultiM=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,multimed.inf,HIDE,7

AccessOpt=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,optional.inf,HIDE,7

Pinball=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,pinball.inf,HIDE,7

MSWordPad=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,wordpad.inf,HIDE,7

ZoneGames=zoneoc.dll,ZoneSetupProc,igames.inf,,7



[Global]

WindowTitle=%WindowTitle%

WindowTitle.StandAlone="*"



The entries that include the text hide or HIDE will not show up in Add/Remove Windows Components by default. To fix this, do a global search and replace for ,hide and change each instance of this to , (a comma). Then, save the file, relaunch Add/Remove Windows Components, and tweak the installed applications to your heart's content.

If your software says no uninstall info found in your add & remove programs list then try and hit start and look for the program shortcut and sometimes the shortcut is a folder of a bundle of that paticular program's start-up icons, and if you are lucky you will see and uninstall icon in that bundle. Also try and go into start , my computer, then local disk c, then click on program files, then look for the program name and open up that folder and look for it. But please be careful and watch what you are doing and if something pops up saying that there are shared dll files, then I would advise to just leave the thing alone and put up with it. If the program is something that annoys the hell out of you by auto starting up when you start your p.c. and you just have to get rid of then try and do a selective start-up by running command prompts to do so. Unfortunately I don't remember the actual command prompt abbreviation. But look for it on the net by going to google.com and type in selective P.C. start-up. Once you do this you will be able to disable the annoying program form ever starting up when you turn on your P.C.

Hey there,

You can download microsoft pinball for free here: http://bit.ly/1qXHPIi



no surveys, no scams, just the full game!

The Microsoft Pinball is a special collection of seven licensed tables that represent the evolution of pinball in America.

It's my favourite game.
