Opening DLink IPView starts installation of another program that was uninstalled

I have a pc running windows xp that has a problem. It has Dlink's IPView installed to view netcams on a network. A program called Scalextric (a racing game) was on it and was uninstalled. When I click on the IPview icon to open it, Scalextric tries to install but won't complete. After a few times clicking cancel IPView will finally open. I'm guessing that there is a screwup in the registry but not sure how to fix it. Anyone have any suggestions?

I made a backup of the registry and deleted all references to scalextric. It doesn't try to install it anymore but it takes 10+seconds for IPview to open. The person who owns the computer is away on vacation so I will have to wait until he gets back to get the install cd's. I agree with you that reinstalling should fix it. Thanks.
