Hi guys!!!
I installed resume maker software on my windows vista. Now since it was not compatible with the OS, I was'nt able to use so I decided to uninstall the software. Whenever I uninstall the software the uninstallation process just hang and never finish. Is there anyway I can uninstall this software without going through the common way of doing it?You force remove the software from my PC. I already tried waiting for the uninstallation process to finish but it seems it will took for ever so I interupt. I also tried deleting the folders but Vista wont allow me. I also tried removing it under Safe Mode but still nothing works.

Have you tried run the program in Compatibility Mode? If it doesn't work, try remove it this way:
1. Click Start, Search, type PROGRAMS AND FEATURES and click Go.
2. Double-click Programs and Features.
3. Select the program you wish to uninstall.
4. Click Uninstall and and follow the steps provided.
If no joy, use System Restore to the date before you force-installed the program.
