Thanks 'M' - that worked perfectly, thanks for taking the time to reply, it's appreciated. Steve

Hi there WavePad was recommended to me over in the Cakewalk Forums so I decided to give the 'free' version a go. My 'trial' period expired about six weeks ago but every ten or so times I boot up my PC I'm faced with the Activation/Upgrade/Purchase window which loads automatically. I decided not to purchase the product and I'd be grateful if anyone could explain to me how to stop this nag screen appearing - I've uninstalled the trial version of WavePad using Add/Remove programs but I'm obviously missing something. Another seemingly connected problem is that occasionally when using my recording software/hardware (Cakewalk SONAR 8 + Line 6 TonePort UX2) WavePad (or whatever NCH software is still on my PC) disables my ASIO drivers and leaves SONAR hanging and unable to open. I have to reboot my PC and lo and behold, up pops the WavePad nag screen - I clear this and then I'm able to reassign my drivers in SONAR. I've contacted both Cakewalk's and Line 6's Technical Support departments with all the details and both suggest NCH is the culprit. I'm not here to bad-mouth the company or the product and I'm certain that the rather nasty side-effect the software is having on my PC is unintentional and not envisaged by the NCH software designers. However, the correlation between the nag-screen and the disabling of my audio drivers is proven - I'm sure NCH wouldn't wish this upon anyone who just wants to run the trial version of their software. Can somebody please explain how I can remove all trace of NCH software from my PC. Many thanks Steve
