General Information.
I recently installed a Lite-On 20X DVD burner. After loading the Nero software from the accompanying CD, I found it had installed a program called Light Scribe. There was no option given to not install this program. When I tried to uninstall it, it wouldn't allow it to be done.
The only way to uninstall is to go to the Light Scribe web site, download the latest free version of the program and load over the top of the existing. The latest program provides an uninstall option. Programs that install unasked for software with no option to uninstall are top of my hit list for annihilation.
Don't know if it's changed but last month downloaded the latest free Adobe PDF Reader and it installed 4 programs, including a Beta version of Acrobat.
When I uninstalled one of the unwanted programs it totally honked my OS. Thank God for Acronis in moments like this. Had the whole 14GB OS restored in 12 minutes. Yaa Boo Sucks to Adobe.
Have found Acronis to be brilliant for both cloning from one HD to another, and creating and restoring operating systems or partitions.
