  Until you find the resolution, take a look at these uninstall 3rd party programs. They are free.
  I use Revo Uninstaller myself once or twice, but not because I could not find the uninstall/change options, but because I couldn't uninstall using programs and features.

  Here are a few FREE uninstall programs...

  Hello
   
  • Are what program you referring?
  • What have been the recent changes until the problem occurred?

  This can also occur if the installation files are broken or missing for the program which may be reason for the program does not appear in uninstall a program from the list.

  I suggest that you run the program to install the program again and check if you get an option to uninstall the program and try to uninstall the program.
  If it still does not uninstall the program, and then try to reinstall the program and uninstall afterwards.

• Uninstalled program is still listed under "programs and features".

  Original title: a program is listed in programs and features. It was uninstalled and deleted directories. Yet, it still shows in the list programs and features. How can I remove it?

  I had installed this program before. I thought I had uninstalled. I tried to re-install this program, but cannot. I checked the list of programs, and it is still in the list, after being uninstalled. How do I remove it from the list?

  Hi n4ctf,

  Take a look at this link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314481

  Edit the registry to remove an entry. This link refers to Windows XP but I checked with Windows 7 and it works so it should work with Vista.

  Once you have access to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall you will see a list of numbers. You will need to go through each of these numbered editions to find the program you want to remove. Click on a number in the left column, for example {08D605B4-DCD1-451F-ABD7-52E6BB868E4E} and you will see then the details is in the right column of the registry editor. See the 'full name' so check to see what the numbers program refers to.

  Normally, I would recommend that you try to reinstall the application rather that tinkering with the registry, but as you have already tried unsuccessfully to re - install, change the registry could be the last option. By the way, before making any changes in the registry, make sure that you back up the registry first. This link of my website will show you how to back up the registry:http://vistasupport.mvps.org/backup_the_registry.htm

• Pavilion dv2 Notebook: how to uninstall items in "All programs" which are not displayed via programs and features

  I do not play games on my computer. I uninstalled 'My HP Games' (32 items) via the control panel. However, there are 11 items that appear in the games through "All programs", but are not displayed by the intermediary of "Control Panel / programs and features. There is also a link to eBay.com, in "All programs" that I would like to delete.

  How to uninstall these components?

  Hi @jarhtmd,

  Thank you for your response.

  The sample you provided it seems there are some games that you should be able to uninstall in Add Remove programs.

  For example, 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Chess'. When you look in the programs listed do you see "Microsoft Games\Chess, if so you should be able to uninstall."  It would be listed under Microsoft Games / and the name of the game.

  As some of the Microsoft games that came with the Windows installation you can not have an option to uninstall them.

  Those ending with "lnk" is just links. Try right click and delete.

  Good luck!

• I'm trying to uninstall a program and uninstall feature disappeared

  Under control panel, programs & features, it has no option to select ' Uninstall/Change/repair.  I have not had any problems before with the help of this feature.     I've done some uninstalling programs a few weeks ago.    Is it possible that I can have uninstalled the program "uninstall" in error?   Or y at - it such a program?   If there is and that's what's happened, can I get back by returning to the system restore using the date of my possible error?    If this isn't the case, any suggestions on how I fix this?  At this stage I can't remove all the programs.

  Thanks again for your response.   After trying your suggestion and go through the process twice and then give up, this afternoon my function is back on.   I now have my uninstall/change/repair under my programs and features.    It seems to work again.    I really appreciate your help.

  I had downloaded a copy of Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic online and I had uninstalled the game and delete files, but now that I'm trying to reinstall it on a real drive, the game is still appear in programs and features even if there are no files that I can find that are associated with.

Any advice on how to fix this? I have Windows Vista 64 bit
