Registry cleaner

Not sure where to put this..I was wondering if there is a registry cleaner that will look for a key that you want?....:cool

 

Don't really recommend reg cleaners, but if I'm not prying, can tell me what key you need and why ??

 

Agree, registry cleaners are mostly snake oil.

If you have a specific problem, better to locate the key, back it up*, and then manually delete it. If things go wrong, you can restore the key...

* inside regedit, select the key > file > export

 

I need to clean out Creative to make a clean install of new driver and there ars a zillion entrys....:cry

 

Download Revo (Free Version)
http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html

It will remove everything related to the program.

 

Also, as Revo is running, a box with the program uninstaller will pop up - just click Cancel and let Revo continue.

 

Thank you I will give it a try...:-D

 

Good luck - let us know the results.

 

Are you suggesting to Cancel the program's built-in uninstaller?

That is the primary part of the uninstall process.

 

If you let the program's uninstaller run. Revo will not continue.

That is the reason to click "cancel" when you are running Revo and the original program's uninstall message pops up.

 

Maybe we are talking about different things, but as I understand your comment, that is not true.

Revo Uninstaller is not intended to Replace the built-in uninstaller. It is intended to augment what the built-in does.
All of the Revo Uninstall choices included running the built-in uninstaller First.

Revo's real benefit is what it does after the built-in uninstaller has completed.

Sometimes the built-in uninstaller's interactive message windows get hidden behind the Revo window.
If you don't see the message and respond to allow it to continue, Revo Uninstaller will still be waiting for that process to complete.
That makes it appear as though Revo got stuck or just stopped.
You need to Minimize the Revo window so you can see and have access to the built-in's message windows.

 

You do want to allow the built-in uninstaller to run as mjnc said.

Sometimes though, when the built-in uninstaller finishes it wants to reboot the system. It will present a pop-up saying the system needs to reboot to complete the uninstall with the options of "Reboot now" and "Reboot later", or possibly "Ok" and "Cancel". You would choose either "Reboot later" or "Cancel" and then let Revo continue.

 

I am another vote for revo uninstaller or you could give ccleaner a try aswell as that has a registry cleaner.
