How do i get a program to uninstall when i cant remove it from the control panel?

i installed linksys wireless program and it never let me set it up to secure the network.





now i am trying to remove it from the control panel...it gets half way there and stops.





this is blocking me from getting on the internet on my desktop.





it uninstalled from my laptop with ease.





and on my desktop, a error message keeps coming, saying bad image.





i cant get on the internet to get any uninstaller programs





Please Help, thanks.How do i get a program to uninstall when i cant remove it from the control panel?
Do you know in which folder you installed linksys? My guess is it's somewhere in ''C:\Program Files'', try locating that folder and look for an icon that says ''uninstall'', if you can't find it, try to completely remove the folder in which you installed it (so that would be ''C:\Program Files\THIS FOLDER'', don't try removing the program files folder obviously).





Good luck.How do i get a program to uninstall when i cant remove it from the control panel?
click start/programs and see if there is a option from there
Using the Uninstall program from the Start menu





If the program you wish to uninstall is not listed among the installed programs, an uninstall program for that item might be available on the Start menu. To look for such an option:





1. From the Start menu, select Programs or All Programs.





2. Find the folder for the program you wish to uninstall and highlight it.





3. In many cases, on the menu that appears, you will see an uninstall option.





If this does not work, that program is being used with other applications and has ';rooted'; itself into other areas.


Check out this helpful link so you can get a better idea. Good luck!
I'd try a reinstall before then uninstalling. Also, if you have access to another computer, you can look up specific removal instructions on that machine and perform a manual uninstall. Good luck.
Start%26gt; Run %26gt; Type: c:/Program Files and Click OK





Browse for the program folder


when you are inside of that folder, look for uninstall.exe or something similar





the uninstall option is not always listed in the start menu.





If there is no uninstall, the process is far more complicated and usually requires registry edits. And there is no way I'm about to start walking ';a noob'; through regedit on here. I'm not that big of a dick.
