Windows installer

Question

I had to do a system restore and now I repeatedly get the install window coming up with Roxio Media a program I bought some time ago but never liked and thus deleted from the computer. ( I use Nero instead) When I go to delete programs it is there the full program of over a gig. Pressing delete it can not find the installation package. ( I guess because I deleted it) My question is How can I get rid of this very inconvenient popup of Windows installer for the Roxio program Thanks a lot. Curt

:-D you went into the program files and deleted the folder or files.. wrong way.. proper was was to go in add remove programs. to remove it u can try reinstaling the program.. then uninstalling it.... or usea program called my uninstaller (free) www.nirsoft.net/utils/myuninst.html

You can undo the last System Restore to get you back where you were before this new problem came up. Then figure out how to clean out Roxio. And/or you can try running microsoft installer cleanup utility, free here:
