I ran the Windows 7 readiness program and got the report. Among the things I've attempted to address (and it seems that I have to re-run the program even though I supposedly saved the report) is having My Calculator and Nero on this older laptop. Both show up in the Control Panel under Add/Remove Programs, but neither can be found to remove. None show up under Programs nor in Explorer. Finally, I went to the registry and found a bunch of items referring to Nero, so I took a chance and deleted them that way, doing a registry repair thereafter. I never found My Calculator. How do I find where that's hiding/why that's showing up under Add/Remove Programs?

Thus the system is not aware that the programs have been deleted and still retains the Uninstaller routines for these programs.

Running CCleaner will remove any anomalies within your system:

Run the 'Cleaner' first, followed by the 'Registry' cleaner after that.

The 'Registry' cleaner is recursive, so continue to run it until you get a clear error-free scan result. :)

It would've been nice to know what OS you are running at present. ;)
