Have you got the disk(s) that the old version of McAfee was installed from? If so, install again over the top of what's there, and then try to uninstall.

Um...

So, is it a Compaq V400, or a Dell Dimension? I'm a little confused here...

The advice to reinstall and remove the program is good, but if you need more help, try McAfee Support.

Sorry 'bout that, it's a Dell.

I had the same problem then i found a folder in my Program files labled macfee beta it had the uninstall in there hope it helps

well theres a program dont remeber the name uninstaller something u put mcafee.exe or a file from mcafee then it removes the whole program

Greetings! (my first post in this kind of forum).. since BBS time!

Uhm... I don't know your OS, but one of the things that I would recommend would be to try to get in Win in safe mode. From there (with just a few drivers loaded) run the uninstall again.
There might be a good chance you manage to remove it. There are other options like editing your registry to remove certain RUN key to void it to be loaded (and even later deleted manually).

That's it for now.... how about it?

Good input, thanks. I did solve the problem. I ditched my old computer, bought a new one, re-formatted the HD and installed XP Svc Pk 2.
