I'm not familiar with this software you are attempting to uninstall but give this a try and see if it can get rid of it for you.
Download and install Revo Uninstaller
Download and install Revo Uninstaller
- Double click the Revo Uninstaller icon on your desktop to start the program
- Scroll through the listed programs and Right Click on the program you wish to uninstall
- From the pop out menu choose Uninstall
- Click Yes to the confirmation dialogue
- In the next window select the Advanced mode
- Click Next to start uninstalling the program
- Answer Yes to confirm the uninstall
- When the program has completed the four steps, click Next to allow the program to search for leftovers
- Once complete, click Next, then Finish
- Repeat the above steps for any other programs you wish to remove.

Grrr this program is a pain. Let's try this a different way.
Lets see what you have in your startup
Please click on
Start and then to Run
Type in msconfig and press Enter
Now click on Startups
Then uncheck everything that is related to this program and restart.
If system boots correctly and is running smoothly and faster then we have a startup problem
Try going back into msconfig and check one item and reboot
Keep doing that till you have found the problem or all are finally checked.
Post back with the results

i nipped it in the butt by canceling the uninstall and scanning! Then very carefully did a manual delete of the program files! Is risky i guess but it was fairly simple... Thanks for the extra startup info this helped me majorly to stop all the msnger programs that tried to run on startup and many other programs that didn't need to run on startup either! i thank you for the link to this revo unistaller! its fantastic! It will find and remove absolutely anything with a little know how and common sense! though i still haven't figured out how run skype on the administrator user account.... tells me to reinstall and i have tried it and to no avail it don't work.... any idea's mate?

You have lots of Autoruns I'm sure so let's take a look at them. Getting those down will help speed your system up also. You may have to use Revo and completely uninstall skyp then try to install it fresh.
Download Autoruns from the link in my signature below:
1: Extract the Autoruns Zip file contents to a folder.
2: Double-click the "Autoruns.exe".
3: Click on the "Everything" tab
4: Remove any entries that mention "File Not Found" by right-clicking the entry and select Delete.
5: Go to File then to Export As or Save in some versions.
6: Save AutoRuns.txt file to known location like your Desktop.
7: Attach to your next reply.
