Hello,

I have uninstalled Xtreme Photo & Graphic Designer 5 (Silver) and now have leftover registry entries that cannot be deleted. They are labeled as follows:

LEGACY_FIREBIRDSERVERMAGIXINSTANCE

There are three or four of them and I would like to be rid of them.

I was able to delete all other references to magix in the registry, but these won't let me delete them.

I am using Windows XP SP3 (home edition).

I got this software when it was on giveawayoftheday web site.

I hope someone can help and I appreciate any suggestions I receive.

Thanks.

I think I figured it out myself. I right clicked my computer and chose properties > hardware tab > device manager > view menu > show hidden devices (I have already set an environment variable to show more hidden devices) > non plug and play drivers, then I found fabs helper (or similar) and right clicked it and chose uninstall, then I found another one called Magix something or other and uninstalled that also, closed the device manger, clicked okay and rebooted and those registry entries no longer appear in the registry editor.
