   Can anyone explain to me how to completely un-install "Elprime Clock" ?
   Windows add/remove will not do it.
   Start menu links also are of no help.
   I can remove icons from desktop; but, that doesn't do anything about removing the program.
   Any help would be appreciated. - Thanks

   You are kidding? Still trying? Did you try downloading ZSoft Uninstaller?

   http://www.download.com/ZSoft-Uninstaller/3000-2096-10409090.html

   By the way, if it isn't running, it isn't doing anything. If it was installed in the default path, it should be at:

   C:\Program Files\ElprimeClockPro

   And running unins000.exe from that folder should remove it.

   "BillW50" - Thanks for your suggestion. I've installed the program you suggested and it doesn't recconize or find "ElprimeClockPro" - When I try to use the "uninstall" from the start menu location I always get the message " C:\ProgramFiles\ElprimeClockPro\unis000.dat" - "Doesnot exist. Cannot uninstall". The most frustrating part is I must reboot my computer to exit that message ! 8-(
   Thanks for you help. I'm open to any other suggestions.

   Ok...the last resort.

   1. Delete the shortcuts off of the start menu as well as your desktop.
   2. Delete the program files from Program Files.
   3. Delete the registry entries. (Including /Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Run and /Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/RunOnce from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and HKEY_CURRENT_USER)

   This may not get rid of some dlls if they were installed into the Windows directory...but everything else should get killed.

   If you require more detailed instructions, I'll uninstall and document how I uninstalled it via this method (should I be able to duplicate your uninstallation problem)

   Hope this helps.

   Oh good deal lwbjag! By the way, I am curious of why you wanted to have Elprime Clock uninstalled? I was experimenting with different clock programs and I really like the freeware Speaking Clock v2.5 the best (yes I know there are newer versions, but I really liked this one). But it left an image on my LCD screen when it wasn't there anymore. Ouch!

   Both Elprime Clock and ClocX (freeware too) are very close to being very alike. And ClocX has far better graphics too. Weird thing was both of them had problems of the clocks just stopping at one point for me (once or twice a day). But after I tried Speaking Clock (and a newer version of it). Both Elprime Clock and ClocX hasn't froze up on me at all. Knock on wood. And I am starting to like Elprime Clock better of the two.

   I'm sure there were adjustments I could've made, if I chose to spend the time. I thought I'd like an analog clock; but, I changed my mind. I found it distracting as well. Thanks again for your help.
