Title: Difficulty Removing SonicStage Software
Post by: Jaminxz on September 21, 2006, 10:49

I've had a bit of a nightmare with my sony mp3 player, or rather the pc software,sonic stage. Its a long story but the jist is it went haywire, wouldn't start properly, kept closing it's self down and so on, not sure if it was a virus or just poor software. Anywho It won't remove it's self the normal way (in add/remove programs) so i've (probably a bit foolishly so) started to do it manually, by messing around with regedit, even tho i don't know what i'm doing and i'm in a bit of a mess I searched thru the registries and thought i'd deleted everything sony, but it's folders are still in the program files along with a few dll files and i don't think it;s properly gone. I was wondering if there is any software that could help me with this, i.e do it for me or if anyone has any advice on how to get rid of it properly??

thanks in advance,

Jaminxz

If your using XP try using" system Restore" restore your pc to a time before you installed "sonic stage".
