add or remove programs

[Larry]

WINDOWS XP---From the control panel to add or remove
programs I have several items there that I cannot remove;
when I click remove for instance of AOL a screen comes up
and says "no installed versions of AOL are on my
computer. QUESTION, How do I remove the AOL icon located
in my (add or remove) programs in this list. Another
program that I used until the trial period ended is
titled BIBLE PRO, When I try to remove it from the "add
or remove programs" list a message appears "could not
open INSTALL.LOG file. I have several icons there that I
cannot remove completely, can you help me thank you,
Larry.

Hi

I can't help you with AOL. For the install.log error message - can you reinstall/uninstall that program?

Use RegCleaner, the old free version of JV16 Power Tools. It's still avaliable
from
http://www.all-freeware.com/ . You can easily remove obsolete items from the
Add/Remove Menu. It also keeps a backup in case you make a mistake.
