Unwanted window with uninstaller

Hi to all,

I have a strange problem. I uninstalled one program (Win DVD - demo -
from
Intervideo). I shut down comp last night. Today at startup I receive a
annoying window with Win DVD installer. Whatever I do I can get rid of
that window. I erase registry entry with WinDVD and Intervideo value.
I
also delete that registry value came with installer.
What can I do?
Where I should look?

Thank you.

There is for sure a pure windows way, but I would recommend you one of these third party tools, both
very small, without need for an installation, and don't scum registry ;-)

1. hijackthis
2. startuplist
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/programs.php

The first one is more flexible, the second is exactly for the purpose you need. Test them both, maybe
you will be surprised what is started on windows startup :)

Actually, neither of those programs will help the OP and using
HijackThis incorrectly can render his/her computer inoperable. The OP
does not have malware.

To the OP: Use the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility:
