Cannot uninstall Backup Exec

I am having various problems with Backup Exec starting with my scheduled job only entering the ready state and doing nothing else. I then noticed that my backup drive showed both online and offline and saw similarities with the following post on the forum: -
http://forums.veritas.com/discussions/thread.jspa?threadID=51626&start=0&tstart=30
I followed all the troubleshooting steps mentioned, but got no further. Ultimately, I am unable to stop the Backup Exec services. I found a support article regarding using the KILLEXE program to manually kill the processes and stop the services: -
http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/192155.htm
I tried this, but the services still appear to be running and I can't seem to stop or start them. I have tried to do a repair install, but this sticks at Initializing install components.
This server reboots every night, but this again, seems to make no difference.

Please help!!
