Having problems uninstalling NAV Corporate... Please help

[JoLLyRoGer]

Here is the background. Not too long ago I was on a military deployment to the Middle East. I took my laptop with me and with permission, added it to the government domain. Since the network had a SMS, several updates and programs were pushed to my computer. One of those was NAV Corporate, not that this is bad. The problem is now that I'm home and no longer a part of that network the NAV fails to load and makes bootup extremely sluggish. I've tried to uninstall the program, but the uninstall requests an administrator account and password for the SMS server. Long story short, is there a way I can uninstall this program. I'm running Win2k Pro if that helps. Yes I've tried just deleting the program folder and manually cleaning out the registry, but there are .dll files in use that I can't simply delete.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I assume you can still do normal administrator access...

1) You should be able to find and eliminate the registry entries that are loading the program on startup.
2) Otherwise, you could (assuming you have it) boot the installation cd; you should be able to get into manual recovery mode, which will give you a plain text console from which you can do basic editing of the files in your winnt directory; you could use this access to delete the offending DLLS.

Symantec has one of the best knowledge bases out there. You should be able to find the manual uninstall instructions in about 2 min.

I don't remember the procedure off the top of my head but it's pretty easy. Just a few registry keys and that's it.
