What happens when you download a software (hardware monitoring utilities) on XP & after running set-up, program starts getting installed & in the end you get a pop up informing that its not meant for this type of mother board !
My question is that Do any type of software component are left over your operating system in this unsuccessful installation ? If yes, how we can detect them & remove from the system completely, as they are useless.

Most of the time, when that message comes up, it did not install into your computer at all. During initial installation, the install program scans the program to get the files ready for installation, if it encounters a problem, it normally stops the installation and delete the files that were supposed to be ready for install.
To ensure complete deletion, do a search on your computer on your entire C drive for the program name. If results come up, then delete everything corresponding with that program name.
Then go to START then RUN and type REGEDIT then hit enter.
Go to the directory HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and then click on Software and make sure the program folder is not in that directory. If it is, then delete it. That will clean it from your registry.
