What to delet?
Im having a problem with Ulead VideoStudio 8 and I want to reinstall it, but I have heard that there are hidden folders for the program that I need to delet manually. Where are these hidden files?

Two different ways of completely removing and re-installing UVS8 have been posted by users in the past for both methods you need to make sure you have "Show hidden files and Folders" checked in control panel :-
Method 1
If you don’t want to lose all your custom directories or the pointers to all your video, image, audio, and titles, do the following: (Note: The file system path is valid for Windows XP Home. If you have another operating system, the file system path may be different.)
1. Save the contents of the following directory in a Temporary directory: “C:\Documents and Settings\<USER>\Application Data\Ulead Systems\Ulead VideoStudio\8.0” Then Delete that 8.0 Folder
2. Delete the “C:\Documents and Settings\ALL USERS\Application Data\Ulead Systems\Ulead VideoStudio\8.0” folder.
3. Uninstall Video Studio 8.
4. Install Video Studio 8.
5. Restore your custom Library directories and pointers to your clips as follows: Copy the following files from your saved directory “8.0”:
VS_Video.dat,
VS_Title.dat,
VS_Image.dat, and
VS_Audio.dat
and paste them into
C:\Documents and Settings\<USER>\Application Data\Ulead Systems\Ulead VideoStudio\8.0.
a possible way to prevent this problem in the future is to turn off Write Caching (when editing with Video Studio) as follows: Control Panel/System/Hardware tab/Device Manager/{double click on a disk drive to open Properties window}/Policies tab/{uncheck “Enable Write caching on the disk”
Method 2
try this - works for some :
1) Clean up C:\Windows\temp directory. Clean up all files in C:\Documents and
Settings\[UserName]\Local Settings\Temp folder. Uninstall VideoStudio 8 from
control panel Add/Remove programs.
2) Delete folder {4F1DA6BF-3614-48A1-9970-9E90F646789E} in
C:\Program Files\InstallShield Installation Information (Please set "Show hidden
files and folders." in folder option in OS)
3) Delete the folder " Ulead VideoStudio 8.0" folder in C:\program
files\ulead system
4) Run Regedit from Start/Run in Windows task bar
5) Delete folder {4F1DA6BF-3614-48A1-9970-9E90F646789E} in
KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\
6) Then reinstall it and any patches.
