I thought I'd try virtualbox on my windows xp PC, but then I decided to uninstall/remove it. I tried to add/remove it from control panel, but it sat there for over 30 minutes before I decided to reboot my PC. When I checked add/remove programs (after the reboot), it indicated that the software was gone, but it is actually still installed.
System restore points aren't an option (disabled by group policy).
Any idea how I can remove/uninstall virtualbox for windows on my PC?!?!?

Re: can't uninstall / remove virtualbox 3.0.4 for windows
Thank you so much!
That worked. It is now uninstalled / removed.
p.s. The 'repair' option didn't work. It asked me to point to a folder that contained an msi file that I didn't have. However, I skipped that part, and did a 'remove' and it removed within 5 minutes.
