Team,

Trying to re-install a program, when in re-install in mentions that an earlier version of the same program need to be uninstalled before continueing.
The thing is that i uninstalled the program already. When I select uninstall the program gives an error and does not start up and is not usable.
I tried several ways already and "searched" for traces of the program but can not find a solution.

Vista home premium.

What program is it ? It may need a special uninstaller.

DJ Music Mixer, latest version.
Is there maybe something in the registry that will have the program "think" that there it is already installed?

Very possibly. You can try these 2 programs to search. 1 For the registry, and 1 for anything hidden in the startups,

(You have to scroll down a bit to find the download buttons)
