@Ron: This looks like an Exchange issue that affects ORF as well - essentially, these are the same error messages. During the uninstallation, ORF issues two Uninstall-TransportAgent commands to remove its Transport Agents (which connect Exchange and ORF), and one of these commands fail with the same error. I suspect the Exchange Management Console gives a similar error, is that correct? Given the scope of the error is outside ORF, this has to be fixed in Exchange.
I did a search for this specific error in Exchange 2010 and found that it has numerous possible causes, but typically Exchange installation/upgrade (SP1) errors like here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchangesvradmin/thread/6c9a3823-8c87-4763-9a03-db6d41a10703/ . Did you install Exchange 2010 SP1, or reconfigured the role settings recently?

@Peter Karsai: No, ORF Trial was installed and left on for a couple hours then we removed it. the EMC and Shell both ran prior to installing and when ORF was installed they both stopped working after ORF was uninstalled.
I have tried reinstalling ORF again and it gives an error during the install along the lines of the error i get when uninstalling.

@Ron: You might want to try removing the TrasportAgents of ORF remotely (e.g., by installing Exchange Management Tools on a separate client if the local EMC won't start) by running
Uninstall-TransportAgent -Identity "Vamsoft ORF Routing Agent"
Uninstall-TransportAgent -Identity "Vamsoft ORF Receive Agent"
If that does not work, you can also try to disable them (using the Disable-TransportAgent command).

During the uninstall a error came up(http://i51.tinypic.com/2dj1mwh.jpg)
and now I can no longer open the Exchange Management Console or the Shell..
Opening the Console gives us this Error msg
you cannot call a method on a null-valued expression. It was running the command 'Discover-ExchangeServer -UseWIA $true -SuppressError $true -CurrentVersion 'Version 14.1 (Build 218.15)
