Sometimes the uninstall information is damaged or missing. You could try
reinstalling the program in the hopes of rebuilding that info and then try
an uninstall.

Or a portion of the program may be active: End the program and uninstall.
Or, if listed in Task Manager, you can right click and select End Process.
Then uninstall. Or, restart to Safe Mode and uninstall.

Some programs can just be plain difficult to remove. In these cases, check
with the vendor for technical advice on removing their application. If no
luck, you'll need to remove manually. Since it can be very difficult to
find all of the pieces, files in multiple locations and many registry
entries, this is a last resort.
