Did you do a shut down and cold startup after the uninstall? (not restart)

It sounds like something corrupted the registry entry.

Next thing to try after uninstall is to run Regedit from a command prompt and remove the Sentinel information manually. DO NOT TRY THIS IF YOU ARE A NOVICE!!!! You can seriously screw up the entire computer if you made a boo boo!

Cold start again, then reinstall Sentinel directly from the HP-1 website, just in case your local install file is corrupted.

I just got a new Dell laptop with Windows 8. I HATE IT ! They would not even allow me to pay extra to have XP Pro installed and Windows 8 removed.

@jkhan:

Windows 8 out already hell i was just getting use to hearing about Win 7 i'm a Windows Xp'er my self it's old and Jossile like me but that's Awful you couldn't get a different platform on that Laptop).

What about trying Windows 7 would they at least let you do that maybe it would be at least better than that of 8

I'd think a Computer store could Load it on there for Ya.. you might try that. Ra

Computers that are preloaded with W7 or W8 are incapable of running XP and earlier versions properly. Apparently the latest Windows versions require BIOS changes.

I did a search of the registry, and removed any reference to Sentinel and Uniden..still same problem..I ended up re-installing Windows 7 Pro X64 and is now ok...I think that last Update from Microsoft for .NET 4.5 is what broke it..so I have hidden any new .net updates for now

@ lost

Them .net updates can be a pain in the butt at times i usually wait a while before updating)

A good source to to go and find out when to update the .Nets and other Microsoft stuff is Ask Woody.com i go there Quite often and Woody will if you Have a Question when he can (he's quite the busy person) answer it if there's an answerable answer. You can also look up through his Website a good mess of stuff on Microsoft.. Give it a look Ra
