I wanted to uninstall F1 2010 (as I've recently bought and installed F1 2011 which is a big improvement), however when I tried this (using the 'Uninstall' option from within the game menu itself), towards the end of the operation, I got an error message.

I forgot to write it down.

After messing around with various free program uninstallers the phantom entry is still there.

I have also tried reinstalling the game but although it is shown in the list (below the phantom entry which is highlighted) , the game doesn't work.

I wish I had left F1 2010 on there !

Any suggestions on what to try now ?

I can't try system restore as the restore points don't go back far enough.
 
Oops I forgot the screenshot !

p.s. it's Vista Home Premium
 
JRS, I can't explain it but when I ran CCleaner (I forgot that you can uninstall programs on there) and selected the 'Delete Entry' option, it worked.

Cheers :)
