    Hello to the people of Afterdawn!

    I have recently had to remove the Adobi CS3 package from my computor but am finding it very dificult to compleatly Uninstall.

    Obviously i have uninstalled the software with little trouble but I cannot locate all the registry Keys.

    I have removed all the keys in both HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE & HKEY_CURRENT_USER but when i come to reinstall the package it is stll remembering my old product key!

    Any help with regards to where all the keys are saved would be remarcably helpfull to me, Thankyou

    Adobe programs eh? Sinister little blighters they are.
    To make my CS3 work I had to uninstall every adobe product I had. Then ran a registry cleaner like ccleaner (free) made a restart then used windows search to hunt down anything at all related to adobe (eg commom files etc) and manually obliterate them. Then just how you have done, go through the system and pick out any remaining artefacts you see. Make another reg clean just to be certain.I then defragged the system thoroughly, make another restart and it seems to have clinched it in my case.
    CS3 now runs perfectly and no nasty happenings..woohoo!

    Howd you get on?
