Can't uninstall game

ruturajpokemon · 08-19-2009, 09:16 AM

Hello,I had installed some game demos from a site and now when I need to uninstall them and try to uninstall a message comes
'<Name of game> currently running.Please end the the game and then try uninstalling.'
I have seen trying everything-Restarting,Checking in task manager if it is really running,etc.But no use.

One more question-Does naming a website or game catches you in a problem?

Hey there.

Try using RevoUninstaller to uninstall the games.

Also, to make sure they aren't still running, you can go into task manager by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete, click the "Processes" tab, and look for any running processes which are games, and end them.

Ok. Could you please go into task manager, click the "Processes" tab, and take a screenshot of your running processes, then post it here.

With the task manager is up press and hold alt+print screen(Using Alt means you will just capture the window you have currently got open rather than taking one of the entire screen) buttons and paste it into paint or any other image editing software. Save it, upload it ( www.imageshack.us then post a link to it.

And yeah, I would assume that you take the screenshot while the installer is not running.

Edit: Your printscreen button should be located at the top right of your keyboard usually as "prt scr".
