How to get rid of remainings of an uninstalled app in windows register

[raminriahi]

I uninstalled an application from my machine, but it insists it's still there !!
I examined the windows registery and found some left over entities in it.

please help with this as i'm in extreme critical situation. i have to get something done today, and i need to have a fresh, clean install of this application.

any tips, advises, or even introducing useful tools (useful and reliable) will be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Ramin

Download the 30-day free trial of jv16 registry cleaner.

there's always the old reinstall and uninstall again option (second time sometimes works better than first) if registry cleaner fails to get everything.

I have a similar problem with Norton Anti-Virus 2003 which I am trying to uninstall. Despite uninstalling it, then reinstalling and trying to uninstall a second time, there are several remnants of it left over in the registry. I receive a message telling me these remnants cannot be removed each time I try to delete them using Regedit or Rededt32. What is more odd is that I have been able to do a complete delete of these remnants using regedit only on two other machines in my house. Each other machine has basically the same setup - Win2K Pro.

Any ideas as to how to get rid of these entries ?
