Guide: Clean uninstal of DVDFab Platinum/Gold

Reason for doing a clean uninstall of DVDFab is because some
times programs can get files that become corrupt and when you
do a normal uninstall of DVDFab there are files and folders that
are left behind and when you go to re-install DVDFab and you
are still having trouble with the program not running right, it may
be caused by DVDFab using the files that was left behind which
may be corrupt.

Please note: There are other software programs that use the
"PCouffin" burn engine and drivers before deleting them and
the VSO folders check your other CD/DVD writing software to
see if they are using them


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/Administrator" and open the
"HIDDEN FOLDER(see note below)" called "Application Data"...now
go all the way down the list to "PCOUFFIN" that was left behind
when DVDFab was uninstalled and delete the pcouffin( NOTE )
there are 4 entries for the pcouffin delete "ALL 4"( if not being used by another program) also delete the
VSO folder(it will be empty)....close documents and settings

Now the last thing you want to do in your "C" drive is to open
"c:\WINDOWS \ PREFETCH" and delete all entries for DVDFab
(note: if you installed versions on top of others you will have old
bootup files from older versions which can cause a few issues
(better known as the ".pf " file
close the "C" drive

Now open "My Documents" and delete the DVDFab Folder and the
"PCSETUP" Folder ...now close my documents

Only do this step if you know what you are doing and do it at your
own risk

Open "Regeditor" and go to the following keys
"HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT" delete all entries for DVDFab
( you will have to go down the list very far to find them )
now close the "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT" key

Now open the following key
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER">> "SOFTWARE" and delete the DVDFab
folder and the VSO folder(if not used by another program on your
system)
close the "HKEY_CURRENT_USER" key

Now open the following key
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE">> "SOFTWARE" and delete the DVDFab
folder and the VSO folder( if not used by another program)

Empty the Recycle Bin and for the last two steps DO in order
1st.... Do a Registry Clean up using "REGSEEKER" or what ever you use
2nd... Defrag your whole system
NOW Reboot and re-install DVDFab (NOTE) DO NOT USE the old
download file of DVDFab that you have had on your computer
"could be corrupt RE-DOWNLOAD a new copy of the file to use


NOTE..Hidden Files can be seen by clicking on tools on the menu bar
and clicking on folder Options and then by selecting the view tab under
Hidden Files and Folders then putting a tick mark where it says "Show
hidden files and folders"
