NiteStryker Probe Posted: 3 Jan 2004 10:47 GMT Total Posts: 9 | I got the cable to put new software in, but it was not compatible with my OS, so I had to get a different one. I uninstalled the old TI connect software by deleting the folder.
I got the new TI connect cable and software. When I try to install, a message comes up, saying that a version is already installed. I click uninstall, and then it says that it cant uninstall, because it cant find the uninstll program (because I deleted it, when I removed the folder)...
What can I do!?!?!?!!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!
Can somebody ZIP their TI connect software (the whole folder), or even just the uninstaller, and email it to mc_nitestryker@yahoo.com ??
I really need help here!!!!! |

When you installed the previous version, a key was placed into the registry saying that it was there. When you deleted the folder, the key stayed but the program left. So, unless you want to search your registry for said key, use a reg cleaner program. It'll just go through the registry and compare what's there to what's on your hard drive. I think that's right... Give it a shot and let us know what happens.

BullFrog Wraith Posted: 3 Jan 2004 12:21 GMT Total Posts: 623 | I believe that the program actually needs to be there for it to be removed.

Or you could use regedit and remove them yourself. |

Down with the evil TI lords! |
