What does it mean that MPL gets stuck? what kind of stuck?

(My experience is only windowsXP not Win7)

Often I just delete all directories and files for a package. However,
if the package has been installed with an installer and not with
easy_install or setup.py, there might be a removexxx,
(removematplotlib) under/in the Python25 directory (I have
Removematplotlib.exe for python24 but not for 25) and it might also be
in the windows registry, try Add/Remove Programs or whatever the Win7
equivalent is.

I just checked my Add/Remove Programs and I have several entries under
python 2.5 that are orphans because I deleted the directories but
didn't uninstall through an uninstaller, but again I see an entry for
matplotlib only for python 2.4, so maybe matplotlib doesn't pollute
the windows registry anymore.

If you don't find any matplotlib uninstall (as in my case for Py2.5),
you can just delete all files and directories in site-packages.
