Uninstallation was completed, but the [Canon] folder remains in the [Start] menu.
Cause
Action
You have not followed the
instructions in the
Set-Up Guide
to
install the software.
If you have not followed the installation procedure correctly,
reinstall the software. If there was an error during installation and
installation was not completed, restart your computer and reinstall
the software.

If you have other applications (including virus checkers) open, close
all of them and reinstall the software.
The computer has an old version of
the software installed. (Canon

startup item in the Start menu
program.)
Uninstall the earlier version of the software following the
instructions in the
Software Guide
of that version, and reinstall the
new version.
Cause

Installation did not complete for
some reason, and unnecessary files
remain.
Follow this procedure: (See
Software Guide.
