I have a program I have installed. I registered it. Then deleted using it's own unistaller (tried with add/remove as well). When I reinstall it. It still says I'm registered. Where does it save this information? Where can I delete the whole program?

I tried going into regedit and typing the name of the program in "find". I delete two entries. Also it doesn't fully delete everything from the orginal c:/programs/ installation folder. so i delete that too.

Now when I reinstall it. It still says it's registered.

The ONLY way I found to fix this and have it say UNREGISTERED is when I use system restore. However, it's way too late to use system restore at this point.

What Can I do? What program will do this? I need to remove everything without reformatting my computer.

try CCleaner, and something like Auslogics Registry Cleaner.

I've used CCleaner. Revo Uninstaller.

I'll try Auslogics.

Is there any program that takes a PICTURE of the computer BEFORE installation. and then one AFTER. So it can see EXACTLY where it installs?
 
Since you have tried a system restore and have removed keys fromthe registry; it seems that things are not looking so good.

Could you please provide us with the name of the software that you are trying to un-install so we can progress this further.

Why does that mean things are not looking so good? System restore works. It DOES remove the program and everything. Uninstaller does not. If I could I would system restore to a month ago and then everything would be fine.

There is no software where it'll monitor an installation and know exactly where it installs everything. Then I can use that program to uninstall as it would know where to go? Or at least tell me where this program hides itself.

I'd rather not say the name of the program as it's inappropriate.
