Nope. Running the .NET Framework Cleanup Tool should take care of it automatically when it uninstalls it for you. :)
Other than a clean reinstall, I do not know of one.
You might wait to see if someone else may know of a way though.

AlexRD, at this point a Repair Install might actually be the best choice for you. Who knows what other features are broken, and will crop up later. This is why everyone advises against the cleaner programs. I'm not trying to chastise you over that, but for anyone reading, lesson learned. A repair install is actually quite painless. I just did one last weekend to fix a System restore issue. I was chasing on fix after the other until I reached a point where it became evident that if so many fixes were needed, there is quite some problem involved (sound familiar?). Other that repatching my system for 3rd party themes, and re doing the appearance resource changes I had made, it was a breeze.

Ok, i am going to do a clean install.
But first, i'm going to ask a few questions
Are registry cleaners really bad? I don't think its the culprit in this thread, but due to the fact that i uninstalled many things without thinking. Also, i do notice a performance improvement when i clean the registry.
Second, about visual c++, do i need to install all versions, like 2005 + 2008 + 2010 or just install the latest version?
Third, is there any new program/driver that you guys recommend since i'm going to do a clean install?
Thanks,
Alex.
Alex,
Some Registry cleaners can be really bad on your system if you do not know what to look for and just let them delete stuff without double checking the results first. CCleaner has a registry cleaning feature that is usually safe though.Second, about visual c++, do i need to install all versions, like 2005 + 2008 + 2010 or just install the latest version?I have never used that program, but usually you would only need to install the latest version pnly if you wanted to.Third, is there any new program/driver that you guys recommend since i'm going to do a clean install?Just all of the latest drivers for all of your devices and motherboard.Hope this helps,
Shawn

Alex, you really don't need visual c++ unless a program that you install asks for it. At that point it will usually want to install it. Until then, it isn't required. A Guy
