Does the program show in the Start/Programs menu? If so, can you start it
from there to get a GUI that allows you to configure it?

In the program's directory, is there an uninstall.exe?

Does it show in the start up tab of msconfig?...if so you can disable it
there.

Have you asked the vendor?

you might need to boot into
safe mode and try to either
uninstall it from there or

execute a system restore
point and restore the pc back
to a functional point before
installing that program.
