Hey
My guess is that you should look for it in the program files directory
under the name of the program, and remove all the directories
and files that are still there.
Good Luck

Marco Polo is right.
This happens when a software share DLLs files that are in use when you request the uninstall task.

Hi
Thanks both for the replys.
I presume when you say program files director you mean the Programs that comes up when you click on the start buttoin on the main screen,
if thats correct then there is nothing there, Have I got the right place. Clank

This are only the shortcuts. Some installers let shortcuts, others may let shortcuts and folders/files.
For example, if you uninstalled "Spyware Doctor", it's possible that the uninstall software has not deleted the "c:\program files\Spywaredoctor" folder because some files on it can not be safely deleted at this moment, so you have to start Windows Explorer, browse for it's original location folder and manually delete it.
