O.P. Uninstalling a program that does not exist!?
I recently bought a video camera and then installed its program, DVD-MovieAlbum SE 4.2, so that I could connect the camcoder with the PC. First, the program worked fine but then I had to reinstall it since it wasn't recognizing the cd format when it should have had. After, uninstalling the program I tried to install it again but I received a message that showed that installation got interrupted because of an error. After that I wasn't able to access the program (since it wasn't fully installed), nor could I see it in the "add/remove programs". So I tried to install it again but I got a message as I already had a copy of the program and should unistall it first. I went to program files and deleted the whole folder for the program, and went to search and deleted everything else "laying around", even the Start shortcuts. When trying to reinstall the program I'm still not able to do it as it says the same thing "You already have a copy and should uninstall it first".

Please, help me on this issue

Thanks

get a registry cleaner and let it remove the registry keys "lying around" because its not as easy as deleting shortcuts

I'm just gonna reformat the hard drive. This should take care of the problem.

What is better?

Back up through DVD data files or buy an external hard drive?

Ayone knows any reason why my PC turns off for no reason and restarts. (If it's a virus then Mccafee definetely can't catch it.)

Thanks for you input guys!!

DVD. It's much cheaper, you only need to buy as many disks as you will be using, and you can just buy more disks when you need them.

I'd say that it's a hardware problem (perhaps overheating or power loss), not a virus or some other dodgy software.
