When i try to unistall certain programs a message pops up that says could not open INSTALL.LOG file. Is there anyway i can uninstall?

Install.log is a text file with a list of all the files and registry entries created during the install. In order to properly uninstall the program you need to reinstall the program first. This way the install.log file will be recreated. Hope this helps, Sandman

Sandman is correct, but if you have any more trouble and it dont work, try this>>> Remove Programs from the Add/Remove Programs List (All Versions) Popular Category: Home > Windows > Troubleshooting Windows compatible programs must include an uninstall program, sometimes though the program may get removed but the entry in Add/Remove programs does not. This tweak allows you to manually remove any orphaned entries. Open your registry and find the key below. Under this key will be a number of sub-keys, each representing an installed application. To see which application each sub-key represents, open it and there should be at least two values 'DisplayName' and 'UninstallString'. 'DisplayName' is the name used in the Add/Remove programs list and 'UninstallString' is the program used to uninstall the application. To remove a program from the list you can simply highlight and delete the sub-key representing that program. Registry Settings System Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Cur rentVersion\Uninstall] Value Name: DisplayName, UninstallString I TRIED THIS AND IT WORKS GREAT, BACK UP THE KEY (EXPORT IT) FIRST! MERGE IT BACK IN IF THERE IS A PROBLEM!
