WinTV Wont Uninstall

[Micky007]

Hi,

I bought WinTV for USB and the only reason i bought it was for Freeview and i read that if i got a sky box then it would get channels off there aswell. Well stupid me didnt read the description and just bought it. Turns out it doesnt have freeview and i paid somthing like £55 for it which i thought was a rip off for just normal tv.

Now i carnt even Uninstall the dam thing, comes up with an error saying it can not find a certain file and then doesnt uninstall. How do i get rid of this *** of my computer?

Thanks

Uninstalling WinTV Software:

The Program HCWCLEAR.EXE can be used to remove all of the WinTV drivers, software, and registry entries. To access this file, insert the WinTV Installation CD (Version 2.0 or Higher) into your CD ROM Drive and double click on My Computer. In here you will find the different drives that are on your system including the CD-ROM Drive. Double click on the CD ROM drive and you will see the contents of the Installation CD. In here you will find the HCWCLEAR.EXE file in the root directory. Double click on this file and choose the “Remove all WinTV drivers and applications” option as well as the \"Search All INF files\" option. A DOS window will open while it is removing the files. Bypass any errors that may come up and allow the Window to close on its own. Once it closes it is finished.

The HCWCLEAR file can also be downloaded from HERE (http://hauppauge.lightpath.net/software/utils/hcwclear.exe)

This will uninstall the software for you. Afterwards, you can reinstall the the software afresh.
