I cant get rid of VONGO!!?

Question

Need some help here!
I have an HP Pavilion and apparently HP and VONGO [a movie downloading service] made an agreement that Vongo would come pre-installed on these laptops.
I appreciate HP taking the time out of their busy schedules to pre-think out what I want on my computer, but unfortunatley, I don't WANT Vongo. Im sorry.
Ive tried disabling isuspm from the startup menu in msconfig and tried Add/Remove Programs, but all to no avail.
Anyone have any more ideas? They would be profoundly appreciated!

Thank you, rlh2424242...
O.o
The cleanup utility download did just the trick.
What a smart boy you are! You'll be getting a "best answer" from me!
Thanks everyone for your support!

Answer 2

Uninstall VONGO Software:

1. Restart the Notebook and keep Tapping F8.
2. Select Safe Mode and press Enter
3. Click on Start, select Run, type "msconfig" press Enter.
4. Click on Startup tab and uncheck the check box besides "isuspm"
5. Click OK and restart the system for the new settings to take effect.
Kate: Note: After you restart the machine you may receive a dialogue box stating 'System is running using Selective Startup', Check 'Don't show this message or launch the system configuration utility when Windows Starts' and click OK.
Kate: Now, restart the Notebook again and go into Safe Mode by tapping F8. Click on Start -> Control Panel -> Add Remove Programs

Locate the Vongo Software and click on Remove to uninstall it.

If this does not resolve the issue, you may have to manually delete the files.
Kate: To do that:

1. Double click on My Computer
2. Double click on C Drive
3. Double click on Program Files
4. Select the Vongo Software folder and press Delete.
5. Close the Window
6. Right click on Recycle Bin folder and select Empty Recycle Bin

This will remove the Software.
Kate: Now, run the Windows Installation Cleanup Utility, this will remove the registry entries for the Software.

You can download the Utility from the given below link:

http://download.microsoft.com/download/e/9/d/e9d80355-7ab4-45b8-80e8-983a48d5e1bd/msicuu2.exe

Note: Please do not click on the link. Copy and paste the complete link in the address bar of the Internet Explorer.

The Windows Installer CleanUp Utility does:

• Provide a dialog box where you can select one or more programs that were installed by Windows Installer. You select the programs on the Installed Products list in the Windows Installer CleanUp dialog box. After you make this selection, the utility removes only the Windows Installer configuration information that is related to those programs.

• Remove the files and registry settings that make up the Windows Installer configuration information for programs that you select.

Answer 3

VONGO and HP have a 60 day Trial which will expire then. If U never access it 2 download it should not B a problem.

This is one of HP's notorious stunts, they load their machines with junk, for some unknown reason. The way to get rid of Vongo is longer than I thought, so here's the link. Read it all, as it will tell you what you need to do and how to do it. 'Taint easy, but you can do it!
