How to uninstall SPTD for dummies

Did that. Got the full 580. I think I was able to uninstall SPTD. When I went to my downloads directory and found the download after rebooting, Clicking on it brought forth a box that indicated there was no version of SPTD on the machine and would I like to install it. Thank you.

Try to re-download it, seems the download is corrupted.
Ensure it has a file size of 592952 bytes.

In registry editor ensure you look at ControlSet hive, not ControlSet001, etc.

Downloaded it and clicked on "Run". Nothing else happened. Went to my download directory and found it, double-clicked on it and got the following error message:

C:\Documents and Settings\Don\My Documents\Downloads\SPTDinst-v179-X86 is not a valid WIN 32 application.

What next? Thank you.

Please check download page again for 1.79, there was an error on server.

Have tried several times to download and run the installer from the DuplexSecure site, but end up getting an error message that says there is a higher version present. There is no other option other than to click on the OK button in the message box. Using advance search, I can not find any version higher than V162 on my machine.

When I run regedit, under spdt, I get 4 items:

(icon ab) (Default) REG_SZ (Value not set)
(icon ab) 0 REG_SZ ROOT\LEGACY-SPTD/0000
(icon 011/110) Count REG_WORD 0x00000001(1)
(icon 011/110) Next Instance REG_WORD 0x00000001(1)

"Start" not found. I am not very familiar with all this. Can you provide guidance?

If Windows is still working you can either download the installer (www.duplexsecure.com/downloads), run it, select "Uninstall", and reboot,
or open registry editor (regedit), go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\sptd
and change the "Start" value to 4, and reboot.
If Windows doesn't start anymore, boot with a Windows CD into recovery console, log-in to your Windows installation (requires Administrator password), and enter "disable sptd", then exit to reboot.

Hi,

I've been working with an Administrator at Tech Support Guy on a problem with my home computer. I have a Dell 4500 running XP SP2 and have no idea what I'm doing.

I was advised to come here and request instructions on how to uninstall SPTD so that we can clear up a deeper problem on the machine.

Can you assist me with this?

Thank you.
