How can take this program off my hard drive completely, Control Panel will not allow me to uninstall, It Says a s**** of wierd numbers i click ok then: error -5001

Oh and even if i try running the program, it loads then stays open for 1/2 second then shuts off. thats why i'm trying to uninstall.

any kind of help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi dachozn1, welcome to the forums..

It seems that you really have a corrupted install, the uninstaller apparently is corrupt also.
What OS are your running, WinXP Home/Pro, Win2K? If WinXP try rebooting into safe mode. Then if you are the Admin, go into the Admin profile and try uninstalling again.
It almost sounds like this is going to be a bit difficult to get everything unistalled if the uninstaller will not function..

Try the above and post back with results..

I have XP, and i tried the safe mode technique, but still the same thing happens. maybe if i put a magnet against my hard drive it'll go away.

Yes using a magnet will get rid of the problem, and then some.

Have you tried Tyamada's suggestion? Generally to get rid of everything that Ulead's programs install, there is some degree of manually deleting files...
