When I go to remove something out of my add and remove. Both these error messages come up.
Each one is on something different I try to remove. How do I correct this, and stop it from happening so I can remove these things out of my add and remove.

A) setup.exe encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the incovenience.

B) the specified module could not be found.



Please help me...

All of the pieces of the software's uninstaller are not present or damaged. You need to do a manual removal by:

Eliminating entry from Add/Remove Programs list...
1. Reading How to Manually Remove Programs from the Add or Remove Programs Tool (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314481).
2. Removing the software's Add/Remove Programs entry as instructed in #1 at registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Uninstall and noting the key.

And then actually removing the software...
3. Search registry for key in #2 and deleting any related info. Caution: this is an excellent way to damage computer beyond repair if you don't know what you're doing or paying attention.
4. Delete software's installation folder typically in C:\Program Files.
5. Delete software's start menu entries typically in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs and/or other users depending on how software was installed.
6. Delete software's other possible data folder typically in C:\Document and Settings\All Users\Application Data and/or other users dependind on how software was installed.
7. Delete software's possible *.ini files typically in C:\, C:\Windows, or C:\Windows\System32, although they could be anywhere.

Recommendations before starting:
1. Do full backup.
2. Set system restore point.

Good luck.
