Problems uninstalling vodacom Dashboard software

[vdeg]

Hi!!!

I am an expat working in SA. Had installed a vodacom PCI data card (v 9.2) on my IBM Thinkpad R60 laptop (windows XP SP2)... Have to go to my home country frequently.. The IT guys in my office back home asked me to uninstall the software since it conflicts with my local data card.

I went to control panel> Add/ remove programs but there was no unistall option for the software... So i called up Vodacom helpline (yeah!!! international call ).... The guy asked me to just Shift+delete the vodacom folder from C:\program files..... I did so.... Bur the entry is still there in Add/ Remove Programs

Now the problem is that everytime at startup Windows Installer dialog comes up asking for disk to install Dashboard software... It keeps coming even when i cancel it and Worse still.. it pops up when during presentations etc.

Please help me remove this software.....

So what you saying is that when you installed VMC 9.2 and your IT guys asked you to remove it it WASNT under Add/Remove Programs, and when the guy from Vodacom told you to shift+delete the Program Folder... the uninstall option was STILL listed in Add/Remove Programs?

No... what i meant was that when i clicked on the Vodacom mobile connect entry in Add/Remove programs.... there was no button saying un-install below it.... And the application entry in the start menu also didnot have an option saying uninstall....

When i click on the entry it shows me 2 options, change or remove. The remove option removes it.

yeah.... that option was not there in when i tried to uninstall it.... it just gave the size of the application (70+Mb) and said Used:frequently... thats all!!!!!
