After uninstalling using the uninstaller

do a search for ableton named folder, search for hidden files too.

Ableton store the settings in a pref file that have to be erased to get a clean reinstall. Don't remeber where exactly and I have no access to an ableton station for now.

Dunno what you are trying to do but just trashing that pref file will reinit your settings afaik.

Why are you uninstalling? Did it stop working or something?

Yup. This works. You have to use the real thing though, not crank or crack.

:D :lol: :D
I've never touched the thing ... but it's iconography it's a little bit amusing to me (disregarding all the evil/pathetic stuff)

If you're on a Mac you don't need an uninstaller... There's be a folder in your homefolder/library/application support, and a prefs file (com.ableton.live something or other) in home/library/preferences.

Besides your Live.app and your library (which you should know where is!), that's all Live installs..
