cant uninstall apps

[tdean]

whenever i install some type of software on my system, at the end of the install i always get "support files unable to initialize" or something to that affect, and when i try to uninstall a progrm, i get an error window that pops up saying "unspecified error" under resources. any clues?

Weird...the one thing I can only think of trying is a repair.

Sorry man, I hope this might solve it then. I would've said to reinstall the software over itself, but you can't even do that. [sad]

yeah, reinstalling over this was my plan, but i left my disk at work. no biggie, i just figured i might be doing something stupid with xp services or permissions or something. yeah, the pain is that i have to go into the registry and delete all the keys that refer to anything i want to remove. thanks for the link.

I got two registry cleaning apps in my software database, if you might be interested.
