Hi Will, More than likely why Sonic`s DLA would not remove is because it was runnning, the default install loads this program at Start up, you should disable it, then try the uninstall. Here is the steps:
Disable Sonic DLA. 1) Click the "Start" button 2) Double Click on the 'My Computer" icon 3) In the "My Computer" window, right click on the CD device then choose "Properties" 4) On the "CD Drive Properties" screen, click on the DLA tab, then remove the checkmark from "Enable DLA on your drives" 5) Click the OK button, then restart computer
Ok, yes sometimes when trying to remove a program, the uninstall messes up, usually reinstalling the program will over write the corrupt file(s) but you need to reinstall the same folder.
When you said reloaded Windows XP, did you mean the use of XP`s Restore Point or a re-install Windows XP? You can actually do a Repair install of XP.
Happy New Year
God, grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway, the good fortune to run into the ones I do and the eyesight to tell the difference.
I found an article on Sony's support site that states, under Windows 2000, there is a compatibility issue with the Intel chipset driver and DLA. You will need to change the Intel driver to the standard Windows driver to uninstall DLA. I know you have Windows XP, not 2000, but it may be worth a shot.

What makes you think it is still there?
If you do a Ctrl-Alt-Del does it show up as a running application?

Jim,
When I go to add/remove programs, it is still listed. When I try to remove it it says what I listed above...
When I try and reload Sonic...It says that DLA is already installed...
Peace
