The more we use our computers, the more we install programs. As time goes by, we realize that some programs simply aren’t what we expected and we either stop using them or uninstall them. Most of the time, uninstalling programs is painless. We simply click Uninstall and follow the prompts. However, every now and then, uninstalling a program causes computer errors.

Common uninstalled program errors include “DLL not found” errors, “Program in use” errors, and other unusual problems such as system freezes, printer or device failure, and strange warning messages. For example, if the uninstalled program was previously set to load at startup, you might see a message telling you that the program or one of its components couldn’t be found.

So, what do you do when your computer generates uninstalled program errors? How do you know that the errors you are receiving are related to the uninstalled program? The first step is to consider when the computer errors began and what types of changes you made to your computer around that time. If you uninstalled a program yesterday and today your computer is acting up, there’s a good chance that the errors are due to the uninstallation.

In cases where you have pinpointed the uninstalled program, you have two do-it-yourself options: System Restore and reinstalling the program. If you have a good System Restore point from before the failed uninstallation, roll your computer back to that time. Your software and related settings will return and your computer will be happy once again. To use System Restore, go to Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore. Choose a restore point as close to the uninstallation as possible so that you don’t lose other system settings and updates. Keep in mind that if you select a restore point too far back in time, you will need to reapply system and antivirus updates and reinstall any software or hardware installed since that point.

Reinstalling the previously uninstalled software is also effective in solving uninstalled program errors. After all, if the uninstaller removed the software’s DLL files and another program needs them, reinstalling the program will reinstall those files. Uninstallers are notorious for prompting users to remove “no longer needed shared system files.” This is one of the most common uninstalled program related computer errors there is. If you clicked OK to this prompt, reinstalling the software and then uninstalling – without allowing the removal of the shared system files – should solve the computer error.

Finally, some uninstall programs only partially uninstall the program, leaving behind registry entries and empty folders. While you can safely delete empty program folders, use extreme care when attempting to clean out the registry values. Only advanced users should attempt such a cleaning on their own.

Uninstall program errors are unfortunate because you are trying to keep your computer running well by clearing out unwanted programs. It’s smart to set a System Restore point before attempting an uninstall and monitoring the computer’s behavior afterwards.
