in Safe mode. regards, ssg MS-MVP yakis wrote: Hi All, How do I remove a program in the ":Add and Remove Program" while it states that " Setup.exe has encounter a problem and need to close.

U can delete it from registry directly.
Open registry editor. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MAchine(Current_USER)\Software\Microsof t\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall u can find the unwanted application here.

FYI: Removing that entry does NOT uninstall the program. You still need to
uninstall the program using the uninstaller provided. -- Ramesh, Windows XP MVP http://windowsxp.mvps.org "yakis" wrote in message ... Thank you all very much for your help.
