I HAVE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH MS'S PROGRAMS I BELIEVE THEY ARE ABLE TO KEEP THERE PROGRAMS ON THE COMPUTER EVEN WHEN YOU THINK YOU HAVE UNINSTALLED AND I THINK THAT THEY CAN GIVE YOU PROBLEMS.
EXAMPLE:
I HAVE HAD A LOT OF TROUBLE TRYING TO UNINDTALL MS PICTURE IT 2001 EVEN WHEN I THOUGHT I HAD REMOVED IT IT IS STILL ON MY ADD/REMOVE LIST
IT CAUSES PROBLEMS W/ MY OTHER PROGRAMS.
DOES ANY ELSE FIND THIS PROBLEM?

If you're having regular problems uninstalling things you may have a bigger problem than just the software package you're uninstalling - maybe you need to re-install windows.

However, you could try the following:

Check your program files directory to see if there are still any parts of the directory there eg c:\program files\pictureit2001\etc which the uninstaller may have left behind - delete if there is and YOU ARE SURE NO OTHER PROGRAM USES THESE FILES. Then use this handy little number (freeware) - Easycleaner 1.7:

You can use it to remove odds and ends in your registry etc - please make a backup of your registry first though!
