Re: Uninstall problem

thanks for the link. they are talking around the problem.
More likely it's RealOne, if it's microsoft's bug it should give this error to all program which being uninstalled.

I've gone through WM5 system dir, it might needed more manual work to remove a certain bad program.
1st, do soft reset to make sure the program is not running at the background.
2nd, uninstall it from "Remove Programs" then say "Yes" when it ask that annoying question.
3rd, go to "/My Device/Windows/Start Menu/Programs/" and delete those unwanted icon

If you're not experiencing this problem under WM5, then, it's a problem with the RealOne app instead (the Real player is pretty bad).

Hi.. anyone of you came across a problem when you try to uninstall
program from your PPC
it said "[program name] was not completely removed. Do you want to
remove it from the list of installed programs?"
You say "yes" or "no" the program doesn't apparently removed from
your device at all.

I tried to manually remove the folder but those link and icon
still floating around.
When I try to reinstall the program again, it created another icon
with name suffix with "(1)"

Any idea to overcome this? Is it a Microsoft's bug or a bad third
party software? (I don't think RealOne is that bad)
