Even if you use the normal Uninstaller included in the doPDF Start group, there are some files left behind that need to be cleaned up too, so here's a small guide on how to perform a complete uninstall and a reinstall: <ol> <li>Uninstall doPDF using the Uninstall option in the Start->Programs->doPDF 7->Uninstall doPDF 7</li> <li>after it's uninstalled, manually delete the following files from the locations specified (there might not be any left, but if they are delete them): dopdf7.chm dopdf7.clg dopdf7_en.lng dopdfcl7.exe dopdfpr7.dll dopdfui7.dll dpactx7.dll dopdf7.ctm from these locations (verify them all please): C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\3\ C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\ C:\WINDOWS\system32</li> If the Windows version is 64 bit then remove the specified files from these locations: C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3\ C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\x64\ C:\WINDOWS\system32 <li>after those are deleted restart your computer and download the new version of doPDF from <a href="http://www.dopdf.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.dopdf.com/</a> and install it. If for some reason the old version cannot be removed (files in use), you can try the above mentioned solutions in Safe Mode.</li> </ol>
