Software Problem

[AMD]

Hi

I had a Trial version of Advanced Hide folders and its expired after 30 days but i didnt remove it before it expired and now every time i log on it says that it has expired.
i have looked on the ADD/REMOVE programs and it is not their.

I now have a full version of Advanced hide folders which my freind gave me but it wont install as it says the other version has not been uninstalled.
But i cant uninstall it because its not showing up on ADD/REMOVE.

Please help

Try using the programs unistall option. Locate the file on your HD and see if it's there.

I think the program is probably doing it's job - it's hiding folders.
If you can log on as an administrator, do so, and make sure you can see all hidden folders in windows explorer.
Another way may be to open a DOS prompt and change to the root director (normally C:\ and type DIR
if that doesn't work, then you could try booting into safe mode and doing the same, as the hidden folders may be dependent on drivers etc being loaded with Windows.

Let us know how you get on.

Check the registry and dat files. For .dat files removal, try Eraser. There's tons of registry tools out there and I admit I haven't tried but one, but a blind hog manages to find an apple once in awhile and I have had good results with RegSeeker. Mine's in .zip format. You don't even need to extract it. Just double click the .exe in the unzip files window. ..that is after you are used to it and no longer need backups. Otherwise, put it in it's own folder so backups are not lost.

Then again, backups of your registry should be being done with some of your security softwares anyway. Plus the fact it is easy enough to do in RegEdit too, just open it and choose Export from the Registry button at top where File is usually located. Then find a safe place... to put it ;) should fit on a floppy if you want, but don't copy it only to only one place if you're paranoid.

Me? I throw caution to the wind. YODA used to have his sig that read:
Press to highlight, release to DETONATE!?! :eek:

If it works, fine. If it don't, we can fix it. Big deal... :rolleyes:

If that's all that is left of the program then you may be able to run an HJT scan, find the associated "run" entry and remove it. Just make sure that you only remove that entry so you don't disable something important. Look for an entry that has either the name of the program or possibly the name of the maker. If you are not sure what to delete, post a log so we can see if it is in there.

Also if you use Spybot it may show up in "system startup", and you can disable it in there if it does show up.

Just a couple of thoughts. :)

Press to highlight, release to DETONATE!?!

FTT-- :p

That saying is actually, PRESS TO ARM. RELEASE TO DETONATE.

It has been around longer than Yoda. :)

Same goes for the age old saying in electronics: "Raytheon reset". I first heard that one 25 years ago while in the USAF.
