I have a computer at work (Windows XP SP2) that I installed cutepdf writer on and the uninstall has failed.
I want to remove the printer port it created, but it doesn't show up when you click preferences on a printer and then click the ports tab. If you click ad new printer and select local printer manually it shows up in that port list. How do I remove this port?

    Does it show in the device manager?

    Start >> Printers and Faxes >> Right ckick on it >> Delete

    Assuming it's shown there. It should be.

    No it doesn't show in the device manager and yes I deleted the printer itself. I am talking a virtual printer port.
    It is in the limbo that is the windows registry somewhere I guess.

    Hhmm, how about you re-install the app, then try uninstalling it again, just for kicks. If that doesn't work, try booting in safe mode and see if it shows up in device manager then.

    I still wasn't able to remove the virtual port, but I was able to finally install the program I needed. Thanks for your help guys!
