As an experiment i uninstalled Paltalk using the "Wise Program Uninstaller". I then went to "Revo Uninstaller Pro" & under "Forced Uninstall" i typed "Paltalk". After a while Revo displayed many remnants of paltalk that i thought the wise program should have removed? Any comments concerning the above?
 
There are 70+ registry entries for Paltalk. Revo won't find all of them!! There will be a few left behind!!
That's reality!!

since Revo uninstaller free will not see 64bit software but Revo Pro will i use Geekuninstaller it is free and portable and seems to do ok

i have not tryed Wise uninstaller but i think it is freeware and Revo pro is payware so that would be a big defference one would think

yes it will run on 64bit Windows but Revo free will not see 64bit software installed on your pc Revo Pro will

but Revo free only see and uninstalls 32bit software on a 64bit Windows pc thay want you to pay for pro for
it to uninstall 64bit software

Ok I understand now. As long as I have SearchEverything, regedit (F3)and Regseeker; I'm not buying REVO!!
When I uninstall a program, any thing left after I use those three can stay on my PC.
Thanks for clearing that up!
 
I use Wise uninstaller then search with "Everything"
Wise uninstaller will show every program and also every P.U.P secretly installed.
Other uninstall programs will not show everything in 64 BIT.
I like the "force uninstall" option.
Also all your Windows updates without having to go navigating for them.
 
Hi Cindy ! Are we talking about shared Dll files?
I just down loaded Wise Uninstaller!!

You have to be careful, N3 because some of those entries could be shared registry keys that go with other programs.

I agree Cindy.
Whatever "Wise Uninstaller" leaves behind there is a reason for it.
When searching for remnants with "Everything" use extreme caution in what your deleting.
Further registry entries are normally left in the registry to ensure smooth operation of your computer.:)
 
Hi Dougie! This is what Wise Uninstaller left behind when I uninstalled REVO
That is quite a bit and I would delete all of it! I really like that Wise uninstaller however!!
It left 17 entries in the registry. I don't want to start a argument about that, but I will remove those also.
Of course I have Macrium to back up all my mistakes.;):( Me worry? Nope!!

I forgot to mention. I will back up the registry before deleting any registry entries with ERUNT!!:jumpimg:
 
it's been a long time since i used ERUNT and NTREGOPT i used to use them with Win Xp i do not think thay would work with Win 8.1 though
and i would take care using it with Win 7 after reading this

Question: do ERUNT and NTREGOPT run on Windows 7?

Answer: ERUNT and NTREGOPT in their current versions 1.1j are still compatible with Windows 7, but as in Vista, they will only work correctly if you turn off User Account Control in Windows' Control Panel (move the slider to the lowest position).

Also, a problem has been discovered which on many systems causes ERDNT and NTREGOPT to display a "RegSaveKey: 3" error when optimizing / restoring the BCD00000000 hive. The cause is that after a clean install of Windows 7, the BCD part of the registry which contains Windows' boot configuration data resides on a hidden system partition with no drive letter assigned in Explorer. You can simply ignore this error and continue, or as a workaround, open Disk Managemant in Control Panel and right-click on the partition displayed as "System Reserved" to assign a drive letter.

Future versions of ERUNT and NTREGOPT will of course have these issues fixed. Keep an eye on my homepage for updates.

Hi I use ERUNTgui. I haven't had any problems with it. Thanks for the heads up. Don't worry much when I have Macrium to bail me out!!
I have seen that error. I just ignore it and continue! It has some thing to do with the hidden partition. No big deal! You can not assign it a drive letter, so just ignore it!!

Every time I install any software I make a restore point,custom install the program, then straight away check "Wise Uninstaller" for hidden P.U.P's installed. Amazing how many you find that don't show up under "programs".:)
 
Hi! Dougie! Wise Uninstaller didn't find any PUP's on my PC, but that's good to know and I'll be watching for them.
Thanks for leading me to this program Dougie!
 
The fact that Wise Uninstaller works as well with 64 but systems which Revo FREE does not has been earth shattering for me and I never properly thanked you for that one Dougie, I use it almost every day now. You need to be so careful with that download site though as there is a serious amount of crap ready and waiting there for you!
