What software are you talking about? Are you talking about the HomeSight software version 2.6.18?

To complete the uninstall you will need to run the DeleteMHSDrivers.exe file to make sure its a clean start. You can find that file in the New version download.
You have to make sure you manually point to the folder that has the drivers. If you are using the .zip archive you will need to make sure you unzip everything to a folder before you start. For some reason Windows does not automatically install the drivers and requires you to point to them manually by following the on screen instructions. |

| So i don't bother going through add and remove programs?I tried and it doesn't work, it goes through a install process instead of remove.Do i have to manually search for related files to delete or is there an easier way? |

I've tried getting 2.6.18 to install on 3 different computers and I can't get any of them to go past the part where you plug in the unit and install the drivers. Tried it on a new Dell running Vista Home, a pc running XP Pro SP3, and a pc running XP Pro with a fresh install(no updates & no other programs on the computer). Used the install disk that Xanboo mailed me and I've also used the download from your site. And I've removed the drivers like you said, went through the registry and deleted anything that had Motorola, MHS or Homesight in it too.
I had Homesight installed with an older version that came with the unit, but couldn't get Xanboo to discover the devices so it was suggested that I upgrade to using the new disk. |

Hello,
I have been able to install the HomeSIght version 2.6.18 on Windows XP home/pro, XP Media Center and Vista. When it asks you to plug in the hub and the driver installation comes up you must point the the: Program Files/Motorola homesight/Drivers folder for the driver installation to continue. If you installed a older version before this new version will not work until you completely remove the old version including drivers.
To do that you use the Windows Add/Remove to get hid of the software then you run the DeleteMHSDrivers.exe
After that you should be able to reinstall from the download from scratch and pointing to the Program Files/Motorola homesight/Drivers for the driver installation. |
