How do you uninstall a program without logging into the PC (XP)?

Asked by pilotsgyde (5points) July 13th, 2007

I want to uninstall a program at startup because, because of that program whenn the login screen appears, there's nothing to click on so i can't login! I know if i can uninstall it, my login screen will be back to normal.

First, have you tried hitting alt-ctrl-del twice? This might bring in a different login screen.

If not, you can push F8 (top of your keyboard) when your computer first boots, and boot into Safe Mode. Doing this should allow you to uninstall the program w/o it loading.
