17069 2001-08-16 03:20:00 Help. I installed the free trial of BlackICE Defender from the June PC World CD. Several days ago I decided to buy the software. I had no problems with the download but are now unable to install it. When I try to execute BIDsetup.EXE, an error message appears 'BlackICE could not locate necessary registry information'. I downloaded the software again but still no luck. Has the free trial software (I can't uninstall it)somehow made it impossible for me to install the software I downloaded several days ago.
I have downloaded installation directions but can't get past number 1.
Any ideas would be appreciated. I have Windows ME. Rgds Anna

zonealarm and tiny personal firewall work better and are free.

17071 2001-08-16 04:23:00 an uninstaller can be found here-www.networkice.com

you need your 'key' to download the uninstaller, which is very werid to say the least.

17072 2001-08-16 05:39:00 Just to re-inforce what you say tweak'e, have a look at what THE expert Steve Gibson says about BlackIce at:
grc.com

You will need to scroll down to find the reference, or use Edit-find on this page-blackice to get to it quickly.
Definetly cut your losses Anna and use ZoneAlarm.

Cheers
