    I have just made a clean install on my FZ140E and all those anooying free trials and useless programs I had unistalled came back again. Now I have to spent some time just to uninstall them. It sucks.

    Does anyone know a way to make a clean install without all those programs?

    Thanks in advance. :)

    Asked and answered numerous time on this subforum. Search is your friend. At the top of every page here, there is a drop down labeled "Search". (Not the "Search this thread" one, look higher up.)

    It has two options a "Google Search Forums" and a "Search Forums". The second one sucks since it won't allow two character search terms like FZ. But it is uptodate as of the last second. The first one allows for two character search terms, but only has an index based on the last time the Google spiders crawled NBR. (Usually VERY recent, but not up to the last second.)

    Use the Google one and search for "FZ clean install" or "FZ semi clean install" without the quotes.

    P.S. you asked the same question in the FZ owners thread. See my reply there and please don't post the same question in multiple places. It fragments the conversation that ensues and makes it tough for folks to later use the information contained in the conversation.
