Using the Remove Option
The Remove option is used to completely uninstall the Digital VCR application. You may want
to do this, for example, if you decide to move the Digital VCR card to another computer sys-
tem.
During the process of removing the software, you are given the opportunity to save or delete
the MPG folder that contains your recorded programs. If you want to preserve your recorded
programs, choose the option to
not
remove the MPG folder.
Also, when removing the software you are given the option of deleting the Digital VCR applica-
tion folder and its contents. If you want to preserve the settings from the Setup Wizard and any
other files that may have been saved in the application folder, choose the option to save the
application directory. When your setup preferences are preserved, it is not necessary to enter
new preference settings when the new version of the application is launched.
If you are removing the software in order to resolve a problem or conflict, removing the original
application folder will guarantee that all components of the original installation are eliminated.
You will have to run the Setup Wizard again to reset your preferences in this situation.
