I removed a program from my computer and a week or so later had to do a
system restore. System restore didn't put the whole program back on my
computer and now I can't get rid of it. I tried to install the program
again but the install file on the disk says there is a previous version and
then it can't be found. Add/remove programs can't find anything to remove
but it continues to tell me the program is still on the computer. The
program is not listed in the start menu and can't be found using the search
function. It exists by name in the Add/Remove list - I can't re-install
because it doesn't exist.

Oh, please - how can I fix this strange occurrence. I've tried to restore
to another date but nothing changes with that particular program. It's a
dumb program anyway which is why I wanted to delete it in the first place.

And the program would be...?

System Restore will not reinstall an application you'd uninstalled, PL.

I tried to remove Office 2007 Beta. Add/Remove says it is there ocupying
680MB. Remove option says it cannot find it. Says version number
12.0.4017.1006. I cannot install my new Office 2007 from CD since it says
already installed. Catch 22. Help!

Please begin a new thread in an appropriate newsgroup for /your/ problem.
Thank you.

[Tip: Try inserting the CD and doing a Repair.]

Hi, PinkLady. I've had this problem also in the past and I'm not certain but I think this is what I did: Open Windows explorer and try to delete any and all files related to the program in question. Then remove the entry from Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel. You can also run a Registry Cleaner to see if it finds any dead entries relative to the program in question and delete them. If you do use a Registry Cleaner make sure it has a backup option. Even if it does I suggest creating a System Restore Point first!

What newsgroup?

No CD. Software downloaded from MS site.

If you don't have a CD, why did you post, "I cannot install my new Office
2007 from CD"?

Try Office Update, Office Misc or Office Setup newsgroups.

Used System restore because my sis-in-law wanted me to use IM. I loaded it
and Yahoo changed my home page to something else and I couldn't get back to
the home page I wanted. (I think that is called hijacking?) I deleted the
IM but the only way I could get to my original home page was to restore to a
previous date. Hope I explained it properly.
