Tried the above using regedit it did indeed remove the arrow alas it changed all the icons as well to placeholders.

**PhilEnfield** · 07-22-2010, 05:09 PM

Did you try Method 1 ?

wolfy · 07-22-2010, 05:28 PM

No phil,
every time i try i get a bunch of random links.

wolfy · 07-22-2010, 05:37 PM

edit, just downloaded it from another source and get the following error.

**PhilEnfield** · 07-22-2010, 05:51 PM

Try the version on Softpedia ..... i think it's a newer version.

wolfy · 07-22-2010, 05:56 PM

Alas no better, same error and after a reboot the bloody arrows are still there.

**PhilEnfield** · 07-22-2010, 06:00 PM

Silly question maybe, but did you undo your Regedit changes?

wolfy · 07-22-2010, 06:07 PM

no such thing as a silly question. yes i did.
i had downloaded a different version of the overlay remover before i even asked here, got the same error then as well.
the regedit version did remove the arrows as mentioned above but not really a success.

**PhilEnfield** · 07-22-2010, 06:20 PM

Hmmmmm. not sure why, as vers.2.0 is supposed to be W7 x64 compatible.

I did find this alternative on youtube, which seems a bit long winded, but appears to work.

wolfy · 07-23-2010, 05:55 AM

Woohoo.... tyvm Phil.
That worked
