Leo,

I am in full agreement with Dennis, who posted 10/21/08. Revo Uninstaller is just about the best that I have found, after 11 years working with computers. Now, I have Windows XP Pro and it works just fine with that version. Revo's website states the following:

System requirements:

Minimum system requirements:
Microsoft Windows 2000
64 megabytes (MB) of RAM
5 MB of free Hard Disk space
133 MHz or higher
Pentium - compatible CPU

Please note: Revo Uninstaller will only work with the Vista 32-bit version, at this point in time. They are working on 'upgrading' to the 64-bit version of Vista.

What I like about Revo is that you have control over how much or how little you want to uninstall. In other words, there are 4 different Modes, "Basic", "Safe", "Moderate" and "Advanced". The first 2 modes Basic and Safe are the 'safest' modes and even beginners should feel 'safe' using them. The Moderate mode is a little more advanced, but still pretty 'safe'. The Advanced mode is the one that really goes deep into the registry and the files, looking for left-over entries and files. I tend to use the Advanced uninstaller, most of the time. I know, from experience, that left-over registry entries and files can create havoc.

Oh, I am so sorry, I forgot to mention that Revo Uninstaller is absolutely FREE and it is a FULL version software! I apologize, for forgetting to mention that.
