I'm having an epic bought of trouble with my computer. Now, it'll boot up and begin to load Vista, but then a message will pop up saying that Microsoft Visuals C++ Runtime Library has been unexpectedly forced to stop. The computer will then freeze and refuse to load. Using Safe Mode, I believe I've located the file that's causing the problem, but here's the catch: when I try to uninstall it via the control panel, I get a message saying that Microsoft Installed doesn't work in Safe Mode. I'm really at a loss for what to do now. Is there any other way to uninstall a program?

What is the program, and how do you know, it's the culprit?

It's a blackberry device manager, and it was installed on the day the computer stopped working, so I'm assuming it's the problem.

The first step is to try Startup Repair to see if it can disable the driver from loading.
If that doesn't work, then you'll have to use the command prompt to stop the driver from loading - and that's a bit of complicated registry editing that requires the exact name of the driver(s).
