You need to run RegClean (or delete the entries manually.... ick) This post
contains a link to RegClean (MS freeware) and a disclaimer....

To prevent this type of thing in the future, you can setup (and maintain)
Binary Compatibility.

.....fwiw, my ComGuard add-in will take care of that for you..
