Mar 23, 2010 - /Applications/Paragon NTFS for Mac OS X/Register NTFS for Mac OS X.app /Library/Application Support/Paragon NTFS for Mac OS X/NTFS for. NTFS for MAC OS x 6.0 used to be installed on a computer, and then it was upgraded to 7 or 8. As a result the new version (7 or 8) does not work or work just partly. Following issues may come up.
I installed Paragon NTFS 6.0 in Snow Leopard and even though it seems to work fine the system is a bit slower and startup now takes 1 min 30 seconds vs 35 seconds. I tried to uninstall with the uninstaller but it says 'Paragon NTFS is not installed' (which is wrong cause I can still read NTFS drives) and App Zapper is not finding the program. Is there a manual way to uninstall?
I was looking throught the 'Library - Preferences' to see if any files were hiding in there and I cant see anything. I also tried searching for spotlight for files and searching online for a solution but have found none. Any help would be greatly appreciated EDIT: I went to the website and a 7.0 version is available.however unless I download the beta the actual 7.0 version wont run in snow leopard.but 6.0 does and cant uninstall.wtf:/.
Ok, I had to download the snow leopard beta from Paragons site. Once I did this I uninstalled the beta and restarted the machine (Note: I did this twice).
I noticed that the MacOSX - System - Library - File Systems folder the NTFS Plist files still showed Paragon. Well, After uninstalling the 7.0 Beta one of them disappeared, and I.gasP!.
deleted the other one. This worked and everything started up quickly again. Only downside is I can't read NTFS drives now but I will look into a solution for that.
