I have Windows XP SP3. I had a software called WindowBlinds. And after I had uninstalled WindowBlinds, some 25 50MB files were left, and everytime when I try to delete them, I get the message: "Cannot delete. Cannot read from the source file or disk." I already tried a registry cleaner, and it didn't work. I had even tried RegistryBooster, and I have to pay for it. Is there any free registry cleaner that can completely remove those files? Thank you.

Hello,
You are proper uninstall audio driver and reinstall audio driver. because sp2 batch file different and sp3 batch file different. so may be audio batch file not match. If not solved then you reinstall windows and proper install all drivers.
