Before you uninstall, delete any temp files. They start with a tilde (~). Ususaly you can delete
~*.*
or
~$*.*
Delete Normal.dot

Whenever I get problems like that, I delete the entire program and its contents manually by selecting the entire folder, and pressing delete. However, as you may know, you usually get error messages in doing so stating that "Access is Denied. Windows is currently using this file." I prefer a DOS based OS for this reason. You can always shut-down Windows and then delete those files from DOS, where Windows can not be using them.
But you have Windows XP. You can always press and close all unnecessary files (*(.dll ; .vxd ; etc...) that may be some you are trying to delete.
Anyway, after successfully deleting it, you should be able to reinstall it.
The safe things about "manually" deleting a program and then reinstalling it is that the new installation should overwrite any files left and registry keys, thus making it look exactly as the original installation. You can try this...or not. -XanderO
