How do I uninstall program if it is continuously running?

Please advise re how I can remove this software .

I keep getting an error when attempting to uninstall via the control panel on Vista -- saying program is still running. I've tried putting it in Snooze mode to no avail.

Thanks.

Thanks for pointing out that omission in the Vista knowledge post in the Start Here forum. Suppose if you hit the Ctrl-Alt-Del keys in that sequence and hold, that the Task-Manager will pop up. Find the process "UD.exe" and terminate. Alternate, there should be a program icon in form of the WCG symbol in the System Tray (Start Bar), right click and exit.

Opposed to the old WCG(UD) agent, BOINC reinstall will sense if the client is still running and stops it. On a Vista machine, probably you having a multi-core CPU, the BOINC agent can do multiple jobs simultaneous, thus recommend to migrate.

cheers
