Hello alsky95,

I am not sure what registries you are deleting to uninstall the software I suggest that you follow the below article that will give you information on How to Uninstall Manually and Upgrade the Cisco VPN Client that I found on the Cisco Support website:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/secursw/ps2308/products_tech_note09186a0080094b7f.shtml

Important: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up annd restore the registry, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
