Uninstalling multiple installations

Hi there,
I cannot get my Minolta Dimage Scan Dual slide scanner to work under Win2k. I now found that the driver seems to be installed about four times or so in different versions, as can be seen in the add/remove menu. Still I cannot remove the programs, I get an error message complaining about missing uninstall files. How do I kick out these programs without using the add/remove menu? Thanks in advance for your input.
Cheers Manfred

Hallo Manfred. Einzige Möglichkeit ist (auch Riskant, daher empfehle ich ein Backup für die Registrierung. ) daß du diese Treiber komplett aus der Registrierung per Hand entfernst... ist eine Mühselige Arbeit. Also hier die Anleitung: Start->Ausführen (hier dann folgendes eingeben : regedit) dann drückst du F3 (F3 = Suche) und gibst dann ein Schlüsselwort ein ... z.b. Scanner oder Minolta... (Herstellername oder sowas) dann sucht der dir alle registrierungen heraus die damit was zu tun haben. Die mußt du dann entfernen. sind recht viele und sehr mühselig. Aber dafür läuft dann auch das system stabiler =)
Gruß Budda
