Hi I\'m having a few problems with my laptop at the moment. In order to try and track the problem down, I decided to unistall Boinc. Unfortunatly, I\'m getting error messages saying I need to insert a cd rom to remove it. I have uploaded them to imageshack so you can have a look. The second image is the error message that follows the first image: http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/6274/im14rh.jpg and the error message: http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/2940/im25ou.jpg This is symptomatic of the problems I\'m having. Can anybody help? Can I uninstall Boinc manually? I have also tried a 3rd party unistaller, but that was stopped by my system from removing boinc. Thanks for any help |

I\'ve not heard of this before but you could try the Microsoft uninstaller. |

I\'ve not heard of this before but you could try the Microsoft uninstaller. Thanks, I plucked up the courage and downloaded the microsoft program. I selected Boinc from the list and pressed remove. I then went through the boinc folder and was able to uninstall all the various programs inside and delete the whole folder. I then used a registry cleaner to mop up what was left. Finally I rebooted. No problems, no error messages :) Thanks again. I hope to restart boinc when I finally get my Laptop fixed. Regards Martin |

I\'ve not heard of this before but you could try the Microsoft uninstaller. I\'m not trying to be pedantic, but to avoid any misunderstandings, it\'s called \"Windows uninstaller cleanup utility\". It doesn\'t uninstall anything, but helps cleaning defective uninstall remains. |
