Hello,

to properly uninstall AnyDVD you must use uninstall it with the "Uninstall" entry in the start menu, or with Add/Remove Programs from Control Panel.

This will remove it properly.

Hope this helps,

James

You must have deleted/changed something manually before using uninstall, e.g. deleted the AnyDVD directory from Explorer.

To uninstall AnyDVD.sys manually, do this:

Uninstall AnyDVD.

Delete "AnyDVD.sys" from this registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SharedDLLs

Optionally delete ElbyCDIO.sys, ElbyCDIO.dll and RegKill.sys (in case you are not using CloneCD or CloneDVD or DVD Decrypter or a´nything else using ElbyCDIO!) from the above mentioned key.

Now install AnyDVD again. Now uninstall it with the proper uninstall link.

All shared components like AnyDVD.sys should now be removed.

Hope this helps!
