I've always assumed that whether you ran the program's own uninstaller
or went through Add/Remove Programs, you were basically running the same
code, i.e. the code the application registered with Windows as the
uninstall routine. Either way, I use Revo Uninstaller from
http://www.revouninstaller.com/ to make sure my system is cleaned up
after removing some software. revo Uninstaller will scan the registry
and hard drive to help you remove whatever might be left over.

Hello Rob and list: Oh I agree wholeheartedly with you; this is
exactly the route I chose to remove it! But somehow..it insisted that
I couldn't uninstall it because..as it put it "Someone else is using
this program!" I still haven't figured that one out yet (the only one
who uses this thing is me)..but I decided to just "shut down"..then
start over; that helped a lot! Am still wondering if Switch can be
used to change bit rates! If not, then maybe I don't need it as Total
Recorder can convert files..and can also change bit rates; only thing
I see with Total Recorder is..not sure it will allow me to raise it
higher or lower it where I need to!

Hi Tom and list.
I agree with Jörgen that the best way to uninstall an app is via the
"add/remove programs" option in Windows CTRL panel. While even this
software
de-installation process may leave traces of program code in the Windows
registry, the process is usually smoother and less problematic than using
the program's uninstall component. Not to be cynical, but think of it
this
way. The software developer is not necessarily going to make it easy
for a
dissatisfied customer to get rid of his/her/its prized software app.
Best regards
Rob Tabor

Hello tom!
well, I have been in to this before my self, so once I was tired of that
kind of trial expention. but one friend of mine told me that once you
have
installed the Switch converter, you can also go in to the controll
panel, go
to add and remove programs, go to the Switch program aplication, then
uninstall.
when you're in that uninstall option, you have 2 choices, the first
one is
uninstall, and the second one is downgrade to the free version, this
means
that youdon't have to be worry about the trialversion anymore, and you
can
use it as long as you like.
hope this helps.

Jörgen Hansson!

Hello list: Hopefully this won't be too long of a post..but I'm
confused and frustrated at this point! As you may recall, I
downloaded the Switch sound converter to my computer. I haven't used
it that much..but I apparently mistakenly have gotten the "paid"
version! This isn't what I wanted; anyhow..the "trial" time period
elapsed! A few minutes ago, I tried to use it and it let me know
that I had to "register it and pay..which I don't want to do as I had
understood it was "free!" So I figured I'd try to uninstall all the
extra stuff..you know..Sound Recorder and something else that I don't
remember; that went okay! Aw..but now when I try to uninstall
"Switch"..(was going to uninstall (then go and reinstall "switch"
without the extras..but..oh no! It tells me it cannot be uninstalled
because, someone on my computer is using the program NOBODY IS USING
THE DAMMED PROGRAM BUT ME! So can somebody please tell me how to get
around this? I think I would like to use the pr
ogram as I have a file I want to change the bit rate on (Total
Recorder" doesn't seem to be allowing me to set it to a bit rate that
will allow it to play where I want it to)..anyhow..this doggone
""Switch"..makes me want to "Switch" it off! Thanks for reading what
has turned out to be a kind of long post; hopefully you won't mind!
