I downloaded "VIP Casino" to my desktop,and it's boring,so I want to "Uninstall" it. Although I know the procedures to uninstall/delete programs from my desktop (and my files),I get a message stating: "COULD NOT FIND INSTALLTION PATH". How do I delete this program?

As a general rule I'd suggest not to uninstall programmes even if you don't intend to use them anymore. Every time you uninstall a programm it leaves behind garbage what could slow down yo.comp. Worse, some of the uninstall programmes could take with them shared files needed for other programmes, which won't work afterwards. Leaving the unused prog.doesn't harm the comp. Of course you want to get rid of this or that prog. Usually programmes have an option letting not to start automatically when Window starts, or gives you the possibility to disable the prog. or you can use some start-up software where you can prevent the prog. to pop up

NEVER delete a program from the Program Files folder.
Find the folder that contains your VIP Casino and clk on it to see if there is an UNinstall file in the folder. If not, right clk the file that starts the program and clk Properties. Read the window, you may find the program is called something besides VIP -- If so, look for that name in the Add / Remove.

1: Use Add/remove programs
2: Use a good registry cleaner to clean the registry

This is the Free Toniarts Easycleaner
3: Next you need to remove any startups. This can be done with Easycleaner or
Start Menu: Run: type msconfig, and go to the Startup tab, and delete any VIP refrenses, but make a note of the directories.
4: Now using explorer, trawl the disk for the VIP directores as above and delete them.
As with anything, back it all up before, and create a resotre point just in case.

If doing as the person mentioned above (going to Add/Remove) doesn't work (I don't think it will because it didn't earlier) you will have to delete it manually. This isn't that complicated.
What you want to do is double click my compuer. Then double click into C:/. When you're in there go to program files. All of your programs are in this folder and they run from here. Find the foler that has VIP Casino (usually it's under the company name) and right click on the folder and go to delete.
Hope this works

either u 'll have to install it again and then uninstall it
or on run type "regedit" click on edit ,find "vip casino" and delete it
..and then delete the folder from program files
but the better one will be to use some smart uninstaller ,win xp manager contains one .search n download "win xp manager" it will uninstall the program for u in cases where windows control panel cannot.

Go to your control panel, click add/remove programs and click on VIP Casino and click the add/remove slot and it should remove that and all it's components. Good luck to ya!
