can't remove programs

[Guest]

i have alot of programs that when i go to remove them they won't delete.
it gives me all kind of different reasons why it can't be removed.
but i need to know how to remove un-removeable programs.
i hope this all makes sense to someone.

Are you trying to remove programs using "Add or Remove Programs" from the
Control Panel? Are trying to use an uninstall program?

Please give a specific program that you are trying to remove, and the
verbatim message that you are receiving.

Melanie,

Does this happen with any program you try to uninstall? What version of
Windows are you running? Do you know what kind of user account you
have? (limited, administrator, etc.)

Melanie,

I'll need more information. What is the error message you get when you
try to uninstall a program from add/remove programs?

Here are some things that you can try:
1) Run an anti-spyware program then try to delete the program.
2) Look in the folder containing the game and see if there's an uninstall
program.
3) Go into Safe Mode (press f8 during restart and choose Safe Mode) and try
to delete the program.

If these suggestions do not work, repost with the exact error message you
are getting.
