cannot change system

I installed returnil the free home edition.

It worked great. Then I wanted to change my system and I couldn't. I tried turning everything off in returnil. I rebooted. I repeated a couple of times. I could still not change anything. I attempted to uinuinstall returnil and to my surprise it appeared to work - only I STILL cannot change my system. I also cannot change any setting on returnil as it doesn't appear to be on my system any more. Very annoying!

Can someone tell me a way to completely remove returnil from my system? I don't want to have to reinstall wondows to do this - I installed it to keep my current version of windows healthy!

Thnaks I'll try this later when I get near the computer. The issue however was not because of Manual removal attempts or Third party uninstall attempts.

 

I cannot follow these steps.

1. I cannot Turn RVS System Safe virtualization off as I cannot open it now i have tried to uninstall it.

2. There is no C:\Returnil\ RVSYSTEM.DAT

3. Windows Installer CleanUp Utility does not find it.

 

I think after reinstalling returnil and mucking around I've got it working.

 

Can you describe "mucking around" in greater detail?

Thanks
Mike

 

Sorry I did a few things and rebooted several times. I've no idea what did the trick...
