Prime95 / revo-uninstall program

[gerry410]

Hello everyone, I recently installed the prime95 program to my computer. This is my first build and I wanted to test its stability. After downloading p95, I would always get a dialog box when I booted up asking me if I wanted to start prime. I would answer yes or no. No problem right?

I was unable to disable the dialog (y or n dialog box ) from appearing at start up and could not find any information on the (prime95/gimps) website. So i downloaded the revo-uninstall program and it has an option to stop programs from starting on boot up. I used it and it worked. My concern now is how do I uninstall the remaining prime files? I checked in my installed programs folder and its not listed as an installed program. There are a few files in my download files so should I just delete them. Is that safe because I understand that deleting files randomly from an installed program leaves a lot of garbage and unconnected files and registry entries on your computer.

As I mentioned my first build and I'm a little nervous. I don't want to mess up my machine that so far is running fine. Any advise is greatly appreciated. Additionally, do you know anything about the revo-uninstall program? Safe or not?

Prime 95 has no install.
If it's currently running, close it in system tray, or just end the process in task manager.

Then delete folder.

For registry fixing in general, you can use a program such as CCleaner.

just to give anyone out there an update. being the kind of guy I am I actually downloaded the Prime95 again. Considering its my 1st build I needed to test the stability of the computer. So on hindsight my problem was not Prime95 but its was my lack of knowledge about P95 and how it works. So once I understood it and lost my noobie fear of blowing up the computer I ran the torture test for 12 hours. Thats right 12HOURS !!!... LOL.

Well I'm happy to say that my new first build passed with flying colors. Is 12 hours enough to make that statement?
