PLEASE help with sysmetrix uninstall

June 21, 2003 2:48 PM from

I made the mistake of installing WinStyles and all of its associated applications to try out a skin. Now after a month of trying to restore my regular WinXp look, I finally succeeded. Then when I thought I was safe, I installed Direct Connect and Higher Score on the SAT

. Well, every time I run those apps, a windows installer progress bar pops up and asks me for the sysmetrix.msi[1] installer package. I have no clue wtf that means and why it wants me to install sysmetrix if the apps have nothing to do with it. I uninstalled sysmetrix a while ago but its nasty to find out that it leaves holes in the registry like this. Please help me get rid of this

when you boot, windows is looking for the MSI file. Re-download file if you don't have on your system and when it gives you the error it will let you browse for file...let windows install it, then you can either un-install it or leave it on your system,set not to load on startup. http://www.xymantix.com/sysmetrix/download.html

Well, thanks a lot. I will try your solution as soon as possible. By the way, what is the cleanest way to get rid of sysmetrix after I re-install it? You saved my life
