I always use Revo Uninstaller when I install any software. http://www.bitsdujour.com/software/revo-uninstaller-pro/in=featured-deals
You can also try it to remove this pesky program that won’t leave.

A system restore to an earlier date is probably your best bet. This Windows feature has saved me a ton of hours !

I have removed this program by way of deleting files because it failed to provide an uninstall capability through its own menu systems, or on Windows programs and features. It also failed to show up in task manager.
Chris, please check digi-libris out any way you can as to legitimacy, and advise us accordingly. I know that’s not a site owner’s job, but in this case, here’s a program which has acted more strangely than anything I have ever seen on this site.
For the most part we trust everyone and welcome newcomers. I like that a lot about this site.
But of late we get the occasional post which begins with a phrases such as,, “I found this application just now…,” and then it is followed with extensive quoting from the developer’s site, or by other writing that sounds promotional - the style of writing pr people wish editors would allow into their publications.
Sometimes all of this is innocent; other times it may not be.
I have wasted two hours since last night on digi-libris,.
If there is a legit problem, I urge the developer to get on this site, explain it, or if he can’t explain it, to be honest that there’s a glitch s/he’s trying to chase down, etc. Basic crisis management 101.
This is a program which sounded good - I’d like to see it work.
If the developer can get it up and running, I will thoroughly try it out the best I can, and report back on it to make up for the negative response now. In the event the developer’s program has been third party damaged I do not want to be unfair to her/him.
But in the meantime, let’s figure out what this program is all about in an objective sense.
Thanks.

I have just tested digi-libris-reader on Win 7 64-bit, and it got an APPCRASH immediately; obviously a problem with some dll-file.
I just wanted to pass along some suggestions for doing test installations on a Windows PC:
1. Use ToolWiz Time Freeze; it builds a sandbox and redirects all read/write operations to a virtual environment (works only on C:). When you are done, just restart the PC and nothing is left: http://www.toolwiz.com/en/products/toolwiz-time-freeze/
Time Freeze is also recommended on the Wilders Security Forum: http://www.wilderssecurity.com/
But beware: Time Freeze has no inbuilt virus detection; you still need antivirus software running while using Time Freeze.
2. If you want to know what files are created/changed /deleted, use DiskPulse; maybe the freeware version will suffice: http://www.diskpulse.com/
3. If you want to know what changes are made to the registry, use ‘Registry First Aid’ from Avanquest. This program can make snapshots before and after installations, compare them, and show the differences.
That is how I am working for some years now, and had no troubles with checking out new programs.
