Hello
I need to uninstall my Ebay-purchased copy of PowerDirector 9 so that I can install my new version. PowerDirector does not show up in my Control Panel list of programs to Uninstall. What do I need to do to uninstall PD9?

Thanks,
Tony

This happened to me too, after i ran the cleaner software. I think what i did solved it though. (only on windows xp)

I got this from a post by Dafydd but i can;t find it now.

I clicked run and typed regedit.exe
and went to hkey_local_machine>software>cyberlink
then deleted the powerdirector folder
i then proceeded to reinstall PD and it worked fine.

FWIW, Tech Support provided me with this link to a CL Cleaner that will nix registry entries of previous versions of PD9:

It's fast. Don't blink, or you'll miss it.

I got it figured out. I had to reinstall the old program. Then it appeared in the Uninstall Programs box. So I then uninstalled it, ran CLCleaner, re-booted and installed my newly-purchased copy. Thanks.
