I allowed RegSeeker to do it's auto cleaning, but I have a backup of the registry just incase something went awry.

MyUninstaller shows everything correctly as it should, and has actually led me to find the entry that I can only assume is causing this issue (as it is the entry that doesn't show up in Add/Remove Programs):

==================================================
Entry Name : Electronic Arts Game Updater
Product Name : EAAskUpdate Application
Version : 1, 0, 0, 1
Company :
Description : EAAskUpdate MFC Application
Obsolete : No
Uninstall : Yes
Installation Folder : D:\Program Files\EACom\Update
Web Site :
Installation Date : 6/10/2007 9:34:48 PM
Uninstall String : C:\WINDOWS\IsUninst.exe -f"D:\Program Files\EACom\Update\Uninst.isu"
Quiet Uninstall : No
Registry Key : Electronic Arts Game Updater
Installer : InstallShield
Root Key : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
==================================================



So I am going to see if I can get rid of that via uninstaller, if not, I'm killing the registry entry...we'll see where that takes us.

Thanks for the help so far you two!
