I cannot seem to uninstall the trial.
It doesn't appear in add/remove programs.
The uninstall shortcut that appears when I type dbpoweramp in start menu says it cannot find the file and when I go into programs (x86) and look in illustrate, there's no uninstall icon.

It is integrated into the shell so when I right click an mp3 to adjust the tag using windows, it has the dbpoweramp options there as well as windows, and I do not want them anymore.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Windows 8.1 has 2 add/remove programs one for Apps and one for desktop programs such as dBpoweramp.

To tell you the truth, Windows 8 is a right mess up.

Thanks for the reply.

I am using uninstall/change a program in control panel.

As dbpoweramp is a program not an app, when I right click and choose uninstall in metro it just takes me to the same as above.

dbpoweramp is showing nowhere in the uninstall/change a program list.

Personally, this is the only issue I have had with windows 8/8.1. Been using it a year almost and it is still as snappy as when I first installed it. I avoid using the apps at all cost, maybe thats why I don't find it a mess.

Reinstall dBpoweramp, it should put back the entry in the uninstall list, so you can then uninstall.
