Need to force delete Reg Key
I have a Ricoh card driver that starts a service that is erroring on this install. I uninstalled in Control Panel (it's not listed in Services) but it left keys I was able to delete via a REgedit Search - except for one key which is still generating the error and may be running so it won't let me delete it.
Is there an easy way to force delete this? I tried Safe Mode. I can export the key but what editor do I use to mount and delete it and then will regedit let me reimport and overwrite the problem ControlSet PCI/VEN key?
Any ideas?
