Hi: My system has a couple of voice recognition cards, each of them require certain services to start prior to do anything further on them. These services are started by a proprietary service manager application which, and among other things like firmware, utilities, etc, comes nicely packaged inside a CDROM and is fairly easy to install. So after setting up all the works, you restart WinNT 4.0 followed by that proprietary service manager, check the event viewer and that's it. There's nothing much to know, provided all goes well. Now, the card manufacturer advised me to make an upgrade which implies uninstalling what now has become the old version. So I did it accordingly to his instructions, installed the new version, shutdown-restarted the system, started the newly upgraded service manager, checked the event viewer and... suprisingly "something" still keeps on starting the old, supposedly uninstalled, outdated service right after the new one has righteously and successfully started. Now you may recommend reinstalling the whole NT 4 etc etc etc but right now, that would be simply unpractical. What I would ask you is how/where can I manually remove that "die-hard" old service which belongs to a outdated installation? Guys, pleeeeeeeease I need all the help I can get on this one pronto!
