| | Install Older Version of A Program I went to programs to delete a trial copy of acronis 9. The deletion went thru. Tried to load an older version. Would not install because newer program is loaded. How do I delete the newer program? -- Lavert Y Bryant Powder Springs GA 30127-6975 |

How do I delete the newer program? -- Lavert Y Bryant Powder Springs GA 30127-6975 There are installer monitors that watch what changes an installed program makes and then attempts to back all that off when you uninstall. But they have their own issues too. Some back off more stuff than you want.. like new registry settings etc.. |

| | Re: Install Older Version of A Program When Acronis uninstalls you are usually asked if you want to keep the product code number in case you wish to install acronis again at a later date. Did you say No to this request? Also it sounds as if there are a few registry entries relating to that version of Acronis still hanging around. I'm not saying that this will work but you have nothing to loose. Reinstall Acronis 9. Now visit this website http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_..._download.html and download the free copy of revo uninstaller (it is completely free). Install this and then run it. Once revo opens locate Acronis from the list of programs visible in revo and uninstall it from within revo. Revo uninstalls the main application and then searches for any files or regisrty entries that Acronis has missed and allows you to delete them. I've used Revo extensively and have found it to be very useful, especially when an application refuses to uninstall all its files. -- -- John Barnett MVP Windows XP Associate Expert Windows Desktop Experience Web: http://www.winuser.co.uk Web: http://xphelpandsupport.mvps.org Web: http://vistasupport.mvps.org Web: http://www.silversurfer-guide.com The information in this mail/post is supplied "as is".

| | Re: Install Older Version of A Program Thanks to all who responded to my inquiry. John Barnett's suggestion of using Revo Uninstaller did the trick. I now have my older version of Acronis True Image working. -- Lavert Y Bryant Powder Springs GA 30127-6975 "John Barnett MVP" <freelance@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:OP4xHOqnJHA.1340@xxxxxx Quote: > When Acronis uninstalls you are usually asked if you want to keep the > product code number in case you wish to install acronis again at a later > date.
