Removing All Traces

Hi,

I recently installed a trial version of Paint Shop Pro 10 and the program
had many errors so I could not use it and have uninstalled it.. Is there a
way to remove all trace of a program from the registry and hard drive so a
fresh install can occur? I removed registry entries in HKEY_CURRENT_USER
and also HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. I also removed the folder in program files
after I uninstalled it, but I don't think this is enough. What else can I
do? All help appreciated... thanks Rainy

Try McAfee Quick Clean, i have it and it removes all fragments of files when
you uninstall/remove a program. trial versions often leave peices behind
hope this helps!
