Title: Unable to uninstall programs after system restore ... :(
Post by: Happy-Dude on September 13, 2007, 06:30:08 AM

Heya guys again ...

It seems that after my system restore, I wasn't able to uninstall some programs, such as WinDVD 4. Guys, help me out here !!

EDIT-
I cannot find the uninstall file/program in the Add/Remove area or the folder area, help me out !!

EDIT 2-
The programs currently that I cannot find an uninstall file is: WinDVD 4 (for redundant to VLC player), Spybot S&D (for new version). Both I have uninstalled before the restore point, which seems that the restore point restored its files but not its executables.

Right now, my only solution to this is to reinstall and uninstall once the files are reinstated. Thank god that I was able to find WinDVD4 packages around the net (I have new respect to servers that keep old installers). Fortunate this time :) !!

Why don't you try undoing the system restore.If you open up system restore,you should see the option to undo my last restoration.
