So I got a 3DCOnnexion SpaceNavigator awhile back as a gift. I loaded it up, started playing around with it, had the great idea to let my pet rats cruise around on my desk while using it, and of course the minute my attention was elsewhere one of them chewed through the cord, rendering it useless (you'd think I would have learned after they ate the cord to my $80 headphones, but no)
Anyway, no big deal, it was a gift and I was doing fine with just a mouse before. I doubt the warranty would cover rat bites. So I uninstalled the program. Problem is, Vista is stubbornly holding onto all the add-ins and plug-ins to for all the various software the device works with. No option to uninstall these. Take a gander at the attached pic to see what I'm talking about. I can't find any of these plugins anywhere on my drive.
Do I need to go through each program and find a way to uninstall the plugin from there? That makes me a sad panda. I don't even have some of these programs installed. I downloaded a trial version of Revo Uninstaller, but it doesn't see these add-ins and plug-ins even with a search. I have a hunch that programs are unsuccessfully trying to load these plugins and it's leading to some of the chugging and poor performance (moreso than the usual Vista/graphics card problems I'm already experiencing)
At some point I'd like to get Win7 and am hoping that will magically fix some of these problems, but until then any ideas? I'm going to upgrade to SP3 after this post.
Specs:
Vista Home Premium 64-bit, SP 2
AMD Phenom 9550 Quad-Core Processor 2.2 Hz
