    problem uninstalling programs

    My computer wont delete/uninstall certain programs.

    AOL and Kazaa mainly.
    I cant open them correctly ever since I installed Intel AnyPoint Home Network and the XP upgrade for it. So, I uninstalled Intel shit, still couldnt open those progs. So I am trying to reinstall them, but I gotta uninstall them first. They are protected somehow, I cant use Add/Remove programs to do it, I cant delete the files one by one. How the hell else can i get rid of these two programs?

    When I try to delete the files it sys: Make sure your disk is not full or write protected. Well the files were Read-Only so i changed them off of that, but nothing.

    Any ideas would be great.

    Go to Start > Run and type in "msconfig"

    Check the startup tab and uncheck them if they are checked so they wont start when you start your computer.

    Restart and then try to delete
