    I have some old camera software on my compter that wont uninstall.

    Every time I try to uninstall via add/remove programs it says the installshield has incountered a problem and needs to close. I also tried uninstalling via Ccleaner and registry mechanic and get the same thing. Is there some other program I could try or something?

    I have a Dell computer with XPSP2. Thanks.

    Try finding the camera softs folder in Program Files and seeing if there is an uninstaller file there and try that.

    What Camera software is it?

    Also, have you tried uninstalling it in safe mode?
    There might be something loading from the old software when windows loads that prevents you from uninstalling it because it is running. You can open task manager ctrl+alt+del and see if anything running looks like it might belong to the old camera software and end the process. This may allow you to uninstall it.
