I tried to uninstall VMware once and it didn't work properly so I just deleted all associated files on my HD and what I could find of it in my registry and everytime I have tried to reinstall it, it says a the previous version is still installed and won't try to overwrite it. Anyway, I've found more stuff in the registry but it will appear as if I removed it, but if I go somewhere else in the registry and then go back it, all the entries are back. Here are the places in the registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum\Root\LEGACY_VMAUTHDSERVICE HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum\Root\LEGACY_VMNETBRIDGE HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum\Root\LEGACY_VMNETDHCP HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum\Root\LEGACY_VMNETUSERIF HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum\Root\LEGACY_VMWARE_NAT_SERVICE Same things for ControlSet002 and CurrentControlSet Any ideas how I can fix this? No, I don't feel like reformatting right now. I'd rather not let this issue defeat me and force me to format, I like to workaround things.
