It   is   strongly   recommended   that   before   uninstalling   the   software,   you   export   any   application  
settings  that  you  have  created  or  modified  from  Factory  settings  (or  write  down  all  parameters  
for  each  setting  that  you  wish  to  keep  and  use  later  on).  You  will  have  to  import  saved  application  
settings  or  reprogram  all  custom  application  settings  into  the  newly  installed  version.

its  destination  folder.  Once  you  have  done  so,  click  on  Save  in  the  lower  right  hand  of  the  

dialog  box.  The  created  file  will  have  the  .pref  extension  and  will  be  located  where  specified.  

5.     Repeat  steps  2,3  and  4  for  each  setting  you  would  like  to  export.  

6.     Close  the  Control  Panel.  

 

To  uninstall  version  1.x:  
1.     Click  on  the  Start  Menu  in  the  lower  left  corner  of  your  screen.  
2.     Select  Programs  and  then  Contour  from  the  submenu.  
3.     In  the  Contour  submenu  click  on  the  uninstaller.  

4.     A  dialog  box  will  prompt  you  to  uninstall,  click  Yes.  

5.     A  dialog  box  will  now  prompt  you  stating  that  the  software  has  been  removed.  Click  Close  

and  exit  the  uninstall  program.  

 

 

7.2        Updating  from  version  2.x

  

 

Uninstalling  the  existing  version  is  not  necessary  when  updating  a  software  version  later  than  
2.0.  Simply  install  the  update  above  the  existing  version.  

 

If  the  new  Applications  Settings  list  contains  new  Factory  settings  with  respects  to  the  Factory  

settings  existing  in  your  Applications  Settings  list,  those  settings  will  be  added  or  updated.  
Customized  and  user-­made  settings  will  be  left  untouched.
