Help: Killing old stubborn die-hard NT service

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uninstalled, outdated service right after the new one has righteously and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manually remove that "die-hard" old service which belongs to a outdated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!

Huge Regards

Fernando
