I got *Ypur Uninstaller 2002^ from a magazine disc and subsequently
purchased *Your Uninstaller 2003*
Recommended!
Thanks zulu for your info - I was thinking along the
lines of an unistaller also. Thanks again.

It's probably too late to sort your current problem with
MM, but I have
found *Your Uninstaller 2003* useful for getting rid of
most (if not all) of
the left behind rubbish.
As is the way with computers, there are often too many
ways to skin the cat!
Pick the wrong one and you start to dig a hole for
yourself!

Well Anthony - I hope you are ready for this one - I
went
to the Task Manager and Process Tab and no where is
MMUpdatemgr.exe listed - so I went to C drive and
programs and musicmatch but there is no MM directory
listed. I went thru the list several times even wrote
them all down - but no directory listed. Is there any
other way to get this mess off of my C drive that you
can
suggest. This is a retail version 8 of Musicmatch -
why
it just automatically installs in a certain drive
without
choices for the user is beyond me. Thanks again.

Ugh! Why musicmatch, why?
I'm downloading the free basic 8.2 MusicMatch player
from their website and
I get an option to do a custom install and select
another drive.... the 1st
time I install it anyway.
Like you, when I uninstall MusicMatch via the Control
Panel, it claims to
uninstall but really leaves a bunch of stuff on the
harddrive that you can't
delete because it also leaves a process running on the
computer... I can
feel my opinion of musicmatch going down as we
speak..
Ok... right-mouse-click your taskbar and select "Task
Manager" or press
Ctrl+Alt+Delete and select Task Manager. Click on the
Processes tab find the
"MMUpdateMgr.exe", click it, then click "End Process".
You'll get a
warning, click "Yes".
Go to My Computer, open the C: drive, then
open "Program
Files".
Find the "MusicMatch" directory, right click it and
select "Delete"
You are now free to go back to MusicMatch and download
the player.
Reinstalling should fix the "it's in add remove
programs
but I can't
uninstall it" problem... it will also allow you to
install it and select
another drive.
After you enter in your Name & Birthdate, there's
another sceen about
Personalized Music Recommendations... which I'd
pick "no" on... then the
next screen is "Express (Recommended)" or "Custom".
Click Custom, then browse, and in the Path change the
C:
to a D:
Hope that works... it worked for me... now to get the
thing off again!

Well, this is what happened. I used the add/remove
to
remove musicmatch - and I assumed it had removed
it -
but
when I went to install musicmatch again - #1 it did
not
give me the option of "custom" so again it went
directly
to my C drive and then stopped and said there was a
Musicmatch already installed on my system and my
system
would restart - it restarted - I went to the
add/remove
again - no musicmatch listed, nothing on my My
Programs
list but I found it in Windows Explorer on my C
drive -
but no way to unistall it - so I did a system
restore -
after that it shows up in add/remove but can not be
removed because "An installation support file could
not
be installed. The System cannot find the file
specified". How can I remove this from my system #1
and
any other suggestions on installing it on drive D -
since
there is no options offered. Thanks again.

No problem at all.
You might want to uninstall MusicMatch before
reinstalling. I think if it
detects it already installed on your system it will
just
try to update
itself and tell you "no updates are available".

Thank you so much Anthony I will give this a try
right
now because I did not choose custom if it was
offered. I
will post back the results. Again, thanks for
your
time.

Hi Jackie,
Do you remember when you installed MusicMatch if
you
clicked the "Custom"
install option?
That is where you would get the option to pick
which
drive to install to...
many setup programs make you pick "custom" to
change
the
path.

I have a Sony PCV-RS530G running Windows XP Home
Edition. Sony did say to load additional
applications
on
the D drive but with some software it just
automatically
goes to the C drive and you do not have the
option
to
change it to D drive for loading. So I was
wondering
if
there is a way to make D drive the default
drive or
something like that. I am not really well
versed
in
computers but that seems to be the logical
thing to
do.
But no clue on how to change things. Thanks if
you
can
help.

Hi Jackie,
What computer system do you have (Make & Model)?
It could be something the company that put the
computer
together decided to
do. HP does that with a partition on their Media
Center
machine...
