The problem I am facing is that I installed a trial
version of a program called "Netlimiter" which is supposed
to assist in managing bandwidth levels between programs
and even between multiple machines using the same internet
connection.
The program did not work well for me (as a matter of fact,
I would give it a VERY negative review if asked - i.e.
DON'T USE IT!!!!) and I uninstalled it. Unfortunately,
the uninstall did not remove everything from the registry
and it is still controlling the bandwidth for one program,
WinMX, that I use regularly.
I have to date tried the following to no avail:
uninstalling Netlimiter; running "reghealer" which is a
registry cleaning tool; uninstalling then reinstalling
WinMX; manually going through the registry and my HD
removing any trace I could find of Netlimiter;
reinstalling my OS (Win2k); again uninstalling and
reinstalling WinMX; reinstalling Netlimiter and removing
any settings I could find related to WinMX (Netlimiter
does not provide a "do not control this program" feature)
and then uninstalling Netlimiter again; running my
reghealer again and again manually deleting entries
related to Netlimiter from my computer; reinstalling my OS
again; uninstalling and reinstalling the software for my
DSL modem and Network hub; going back through the registry
manually just in case I missed something; and finally
searching through the 'net in hopes someone might be able
to help me get RID of this thing!!
I do NOT want to wipe my drive as I have over 50 gigs
worth of data I do not want to lose and although my system
is a good and relatively new one (2 gig proc, 512 memory,
etc.) I only have an old 4x CDR/RW burner and it would
take WEEKS to back up all my data. (some is backed up,
but not everything).
I would like to somehow do a clean install without losing
my data. I have all the program installation CDs and
backups of all my drivers, so that is not an issue. If
not for the data I don't want to lose, I would have wiped
my drive by now, I'm so frustrated!!!
I've been fiddling with this for a week now, and am at my
wits end! I appreciate ANY help anyone can give me!
I have emailed the program's software support, but don't
expect much help. Their website doesn't even contain a
FAQ page, let alone detailed info about the program.
Thank you in advance for any assistance!
