How to do a Clean uninstall of DVDFab
Uninstall DVDFab like you normally do, next open My Computer and go to c:\Program Files (OR) where ever you installed DVDFab and delete the DVDFab folder....now close Program Files
Since you are already have your "C" drive open go to "Documents and Settings \ OWNER" and open the "HIDDEN FOLDER" called "Application Data"....now go all the way down to "PCOUFFIN" that was left behind when DVDFab was uninstalled and delete ( NOTE ) there are 4 entries for the pcouffin delete "ALL 4"....close documents and settings
NOW the last thing you want to do in your "C" drive is to open the "WINDOWS folder \ PREFETCH folder" and delete the boot-up file for DVDFab (better known as the ".pf " file
it will look like this DVDFABPLATINUM3080.EXE- # # # # # # # #.pf
where # is a number and or letter (string of 8 total ( NOTE ) delete all entries for FAB.....close the "C" drive
Now open "My Documents" and delete the DVDFab Folder (AND) the "PCSETUP" Folder ...now close my documents
if you have anything in the Recycle Bin empty it NOW for the last two steps DO in order 1st do a Registry Clean up "REGSEEKER" or what ever you use after that Defrag your whole system NOW Reboot and re-install DVDFab ( NOTE ) DO NOT USE AN OLD download file of FAB that you have had on your computer "COULD be Corrupt RE-DOWNLOAD a new copy of the file
and let us know how it works out
