I tried v5.42 and had the same issue so I downloaded v5.40 and the issue was resolved. Thanks again for your help!

Ahh, good 'ole FileHippo. I was searching for a previous versions download source. Thanks again mta. Take care mate.

Hi mta Thanks very much for the info.

I am having exactly the same issue; however, I have Windows 10.

My point seems to have been missed. What I am saying is this: in this particular case, me posting on two forums asking for recommendations on uninstallers, should not be an issue - i.e. it should not be frowned upon. I just wanted to know if anyone is using (or have used) a good alternative to Revo Uninstaller. Like I said, I (or anyone) should be able to do this on any number of forums. In this case, I believe it's totally ethical. The idea is to get as many opinions as possible. What possible difference does it make that I asked the same question on another forum (or 200 forums).

I would like to clarify something and I sincerely hope you will take the time to read this. I received a message that stated I should not have posted my uninstaller topic (https://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=48545) on another forum ( https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/651205/what-uninstallers-would-be-on-the-top-2-or-top-3-list/ ). In the past, on another topic, I had done so and was informed that I was wrong in doing so. At that time with that particular topic I understood the points made about posting on another forum and I agreed that I should not have done so. Bec

Given what you pointed out regarding IObit in your first post and also the fact that some people just simply don't like any IObit product, I think I'll skip it in my program. So within my program I'm leaning towards using Geek Uninstaller as the alternative to Revo Uninstaller.

Our laptops don't have a CD drive, thus I'll backup onto a USB drive (i.e. not a stick). Dennis, thank you so very much for your great post. I so very much appreciate the time and effort you have spent helping me with this. To be sure I will never lose the info you've provided, I copy & pasted your post into my word processor and took a snip image of your image. You never know if this post gets lost in cyberspace someday. I'll be trying the image backup, according to your guide, tomorrow. It'll be great to finally get this done. Thanks again mate!

Thanks Andavari. I gather GeekUninstaller is very good also.

IMO, Revo Uninstaller should be the top of any Uninstaller list. What Uninstaller would you rate as being second best (or perhaps even equally as good)? The reason I'm asking is because in my program I would like to provide an alternative uninstaller to Revo Uninstaller and I want the alternative to be a good one.

Hi Tasgandy, glad to be of service When you've checked them out, let me know what you think. More info regarding ZAM can be found in this post: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/648740/zemana-anti-malware/

Are you kidding! You have put my concerns at rest! Thank you so very much Dennis. What you said in the above was my biggest concerns. I had no intention of using a USB stick for backup, but I'll be honest, I did not realize that they can go t**s up (as you said). I have a 1TB USB drive and with my C drive having 68GB of data, that 1TB should do me for quite sometime. Now I just have to make sure I do the Macrium backups correctly.

I see.

@Andavari Are you saying that it's best not to save system image (using Macrium) directly onto a USB drive? BTW, our laptops don't have a CD drive.
