    What version of Windows are you using? The application that I mentioned clears the registry of keys for uninstalled programs. There shouldn't be any driver files in your registry. Further explanation of your problem would help!:)

    Try using the third option on CCleaner's menu which should be Tools. Choose the startup option, and it should list all programs loaded at startup. If the program keys that you are trying to delete are there, then you have found the problem.:)
