Guest Moonbarker Osbourne Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 A few days ago, a relative installed this program from the Weather Channel that was described as "Get storm alerts and The Weather Channel local forecasts free on your desktop." http://www.weather.com/services/downloads/index.html?from=hp_tools If that doesn't work for some reason, go to http://www.weather.com and click the link on the right side of the screen described as "Get storm alerts and The Weather Channel local forecasts free on your desktop." He didn't like it, so he uninstalled it. Now the program folder is still in C:\Program Files though it's empty and he gets this error message at startup. Anyone know how to get rid of it? http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj216/Moonbarker/weather.jpg
Guest Ron Badour Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 Re: Problem uninstalling program Just right click and delete the folder. There is an entry in one of the startup points (either a run key in the registry or a shortcut in the Startup folder on the Start menu) that is causing the error notice at boot. He can either locate the entry (probably in the registry) and delete it or he can run msconfig from Run on the Start menu. Once the utility runs, click the startup tab and locate the entry. Remove the mark from in front of the entry or he can use entry to locate where the program is being started from. If he removes the mark (easy way), a screen will appear when he reboots. Mark the box and tell it OK. -- Regards Ron Badour MS MVP 1997 - 2008 "Moonbarker Osbourne" <MoonbarkerOsbourne@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:AAD26893-0624-4D38-8F50-3F31565D5389@microsoft.com... >A few days ago, a relative installed this program from the Weather Channel > that was described as "Get storm alerts and The Weather Channel local > forecasts free on your desktop." > > http://www.weather.com/services/downloads/index.html?from=hp_tools > > If that doesn't work for some reason, go to http://www.weather.com and > click > the link on the right side of the screen described as "Get storm alerts > and > The Weather Channel local forecasts free on your desktop." > > He didn't like it, so he uninstalled it.
