Try to open the windows task manager, navigate to the processes tab, and close all KDE processes, that is kded4.exe, kdeinit4.exe... and dbus-daemon.exe . Then go to the installation directory and remove the complete installation directory. To cleanup also the user settings, open the explorer, and go to %APPDATA% and remove the .kde directory. If removing a file fails, check that you really killed all processes in question. > > Anne regards, Patrick -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.21 (MingW32) iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJVyveKAAoJEPAKI6QtGt1xNnEQAI8DQq2bYsD6oevjtwHh6FP8 CxFOHp0c23c/VHW/0uFclgFe/GrR3NCVCxrCOMwITjAD9Qo3hsTKmKoAMN1n3KJl L24xFKcvMhXgo0YQyxsbPY/sAouZ9se1ysbjE/wPMVI9dgx4SysgysBiMc3/0Y/p d4VEYDeYa2xVE79c8jSkTWg+ml50FrdXn9afkNOG0huGxdJAdLIMezCREjm6mNL2 2fmVDUKGMCRDRBH1ddnnT6bzZbpBVTuM9zSqQY7AQwAuQSJ7opGjwOGSsJNXAlSn 04kybQuR4Zru2b2rCKjxjMGYjwSygEQbgQy3qNSX9nABLJtuWj42R2wWoi+r59z+ lbzJh+3US9CIl7chqzUc0Nqq/SIp85/obn56GKCyNgeIvlduIoVSDDqMQXMM5b+Y 9tnjnDDb1Wi7cdHpM9lrm8uyA/cTgJwOA48adzcsdReck66vsC/YgMXo7uA5vpLY qsvC3EjnfBdaJAuhwZxTBvBheivFjnJIJSpdrTQ6stwP7hOrXjq6Xw/iVXYDUIBN F1BG8j0bwCvUliiHc6SBrDwBXbZzLpetTF7l1pqCrGGJNVWyL9ibH5dlCW4/QdaK D49GFnVZQaDZahDa3FGponconbTuD3L8V3E9+pAfF/Croc1qpu9tRuanxEuHwHUg +i7DXBUsIYWntGEq5+oP =kBpf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Kde-windows mailing list Kde-windows@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-windows
