I uninstalled an old program.

When ever I boot up, or try to open a few other programs,
the windows installer opens, and trys to reinstall the
old program, but it indicates the program is not
compatable, with windows xp. It keeps comming back up 4
or 5 times, after I hit cansel, then finally goes off.

How can I get this to stop?
 
Go to Start>Run type msconfig Select Startup Tab. Look for any
reference to the old program and uncheck.
Also Start>Run type regedit Select
Hkey_Current_User\Software Look for old program folder
Do the same for HKey_Local_Machine\Software. And
HKey_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current version\Run,
Run Once etc. Look at the right hand pane
for any reference to the old program and delete. Do the same for
Hkey_Current_User.
