Click-- Start-- Programs,now check the menu for the software,the program may have included and uninstall option and once uninstalled from Add/Remove programs could still be trying to access software

Be careful with this,click Start--Run,type Regedit,locate key for software and expand,search for the software or program by the manufacturer,right-click on name and choose delete to any instance,then reboot and try installing the program
