    This is not a problem with the Dimension BIOS, the topic of this forum.  You might consider posting in the Software forum for the version of Windows you are running if the following does not work.  Reinstall the programs to create a new install log, then try uninstalling from Add/Remove programs.  If this doesn't work, post in the Software forum and be sure to state which programs you are trying to uninstall.

    If you were doing a restore to wipe everything clean (including these corrupt programs), you have to do a destructive recovery (one that formats yor HDD). You seemed surprised that these programs were still there after a restore, so I assume you meant to completely wipe Windows clean. That, of course, is the 100% way to resolve your issue. Often, depending on how you try to "delete" software, program installations can get a little scrambled... particularily in the registry. Likely this is what is happening with you. Back up your important files and do a FULL restore! Good luck my friend. taustheelder@hotmail.com.
