problems with disinstalling REV

[Mark Schonewille]

Dear Barry,

You're right, the uninstaller is broken and even if you get it to  
work, it won't work properly. Just forget about it.

It is save to remove the software manually in XP. Just move Revolution  
to the trash and re-install. You can even manually remove any  
shortcuts from the Start menu. This shouldn't cause any problems. The  
only component that isn't fully obvious is the Techsmith dll. You  
should be able to find this somewhewre in the Windows folder or in a  
QuickTime plugins folder, but I don't think there is a reason why one  
might want to remove it.
