Posted February 22, 20159 yr comment_849681 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?
February 22, 20159 yr comment_849682 Hi I like to use this freeware after uninstalling a program with REVO. It's called Searcheverything! It will find all the left behinds! http://www.voidtools.com/downloads/ Some times you're the wind shield. Some times you're the bug!!:(
February 22, 20159 yr comment_849683 There are 70+ registry entries for Paltalk. Revo won't find all of them!! There will be a few left behind!! That's reality!! Some times you're the wind shield. Some times you're the bug!!:(
February 22, 20159 yr comment_849685 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 :) James
February 22, 20159 yr comment_849686 I have REVO free and it works on my 64 bit!! Some times you're the wind shield. Some times you're the bug!!:(
February 22, 20159 yr comment_849687 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 :) James

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!

February 22, 20159 yr FPCH Admin comment_849689 You have to be careful, N3 because some of those entries could be shared registry keys that go with other programs. ~I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.~ ~~Robert McCloskey~~
February 22, 20159 yr comment_849690 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.

February 22, 20159 yr comment_849691 Hi Cindy ! Are we talking about shared Dll files? I just down loaded Wise Uninstaller!! Edited February 22, 20159 yr by donetao Some times you're the wind shield. Some times you're the bug!!:(
February 22, 20159 yr comment_849692 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.:) Roses are red, violets are blue, I'm Schizophrenic, and so am I Free Photo Restoration and Repair for all Forum members - CLICK HERE Please pop back and let us know if your Computer problem has been solved.
February 22, 20159 yr comment_849696 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!! Edited February 22, 20159 yr by donetao Some times you're the wind shield. Some times you're the bug!!:(
February 22, 20159 yr comment_849697 I forgot to mention. I will back up the registry before deleting any registry entries with ERUNT!!:jumpimg: Some times you're the wind shield. Some times you're the bug!!:(
February 22, 20159 yr comment_849700 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 homepage http://www.larshederer.homepage.t-online.de/erunt/ ERUNT and NTREGOPT Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) http://www.larshederer.homepage.t-online.de/erunt/faq.htm 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. :) James
February 22, 20159 yr comment_849702 I use ERUNT with Windows7 SP1 with no issues. Have restored the registry a number of times. Haven't used with Windows 8.1 so can't comment.

February 22, 20159 yr comment_849704 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!! http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/eruntgui.html Edited February 22, 20159 yr by donetao Some times you're the wind shield.

REVO is gone and Wise Uninstaller is the King. I love Free PC Help Forum 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".:) Roses are red, violets are blue, I'm Schizophrenic, and so am I Free Photo Restoration and Repair for all Forum members - CLICK HERE Please pop back and let us know if your Computer problem has been solved.
February 22, 20159 yr comment_849714 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! Some times you're the wind shield. Some times you're the bug!!:(
February 22, 20159 yr comment_849735 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!
