Did you delete the winstyle folder first before you tried to uninstall it from control panel?

well, there's always the manual approach.. remove all the registry entries, replace the patched dll by hand and delete the folder..

ok, forget I mentioned it then because messing around in the registry can cause all sorts of problems.. Trust me, I've killed my machine a time or two by deleting keys that I didn't think were necessary.. Not a pretty site at all. Sorry I couldn't be more help but unfortunately if re-installing didn't work there may be something wrong with the installer you have. Maybe you can try installing the latest version and using it to remove what you have installed..

Good Luck!
I should mention, you probably won't find many people here interested in helping out with StyleXP problems considering the latest shenanigans pulled by TGTSoft.. Once you get that crap removed, take a look into Windowblinds, I've been using it for ages and only tinkered with msstyles shortly out of sheer morbid curiosity! L8r!
