Uninstalling Gigastudio 3.0 manually

[Hedge]

Major frustration here...

I installed Gigastudio 3.0 on one of my boxes and it died towards the end of the installation. It does it every single time.

The real pain is it installed all the drivers and such. Some of my audio applications are already misbehaving (crashing at startup etc.), dispite having disable the drivers at startup (or it'd give me a blue screen).

Now the uninstallation doesn't work as the installation was never completely successful. I can live with it as I have a dedicated PC for GS3. Just so happens I tried installing it on my main workstation. Dumb move but does anyone know how to unstall GS3 and its related drivers manually?

Thanks

You might try booting in safe mode (Hit F8 at start of boot-up and choose safe mode option), then try the install again. If it's successful, then you can just do an uninstall afterwards.

If that doesn't work, there's the dirty (and rather risky) option of deleting the GS3 folder, and using a registry cleaning utility to remove the related buried files.

Thanks! It seems to have worked!

You should also run the gigaclean utility that comes on the Gigastudio 3.0 install disc. This would be the most complete uninstall I would think.
