I wish to uninstall a program I downloaded, but I am
unable to do so, cause I get a message saying that it is
currently running and I need to exit from it before I can
continue uninstalling it. I've tried both the Uninstall
for it in the "All Programs" section and the "Add/Remove"
section of my Control Panel.....I get the same message
both places. This is the clincher....I don't know how to
turn it off, for it doesn't show up on my task bar, nor
does it show up when I pull up "Task Manager".

I really don't need this program and it's just a waste of
space, so could someone please give me any suggestions as
to how I can either Remove this program completely
(without having to download another program to do it) OR
tell me what I can do to at least TURN IT OFF.

I appreciate any time and effort made to helping me
resolve this issue. And Thank You Very Much!
 
go to start , then run msconfig.exe from that command
line. Select Dianostic startup. and then reboot. You'll
come up free of everything except necessary windows
files. Do your un-install there. Then from msconfig.
Click normal startup and reboot again.
