| 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"
