Windows XP Pro SP3. When you try editing program using the control panel > Add / Remove Programs, I click on the program I want to remove, and then click on Change / Remove button and the computer crashes. I have to shut down the computer and restart to be able to do anything. This produces any program select for deletion. Can anyone help?

    Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

    If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.

    You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type sfc in the search box, right-click to SFC. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.

    Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

    I hope this helps. Good luck.

  • I have relatively few programs in Add and remove programs feature xps document writer, and many things are not

    I can't find the xps Viewer or an xps printer to add and remove programs and do a right click Delete says access denied when I try to remove it features and the location of the printer.  It seems that other things are missing in Add and remove programs feature tool - is there a way to repopulate it? And I tried to get a certificate for the xps printer and Viewer by following the steps, but access is denied / I had to have my computer dehacked and I think that the hacker used this device to access my documents, I just want to eradicate it from my computer. Where to go to in the pc to do this? Is there a microsoft site that would download a new one and replace it? I know it is recommended to use the Add - Remove the tool but I can't when the item is not listed. It's a 64 bit Dell Inspiron 1545 Again-I need to find where I can delete the thing. Any new idea on how I could get permissions greeted = I opened the xps document, but it won't let me follow the steps to get the permissions - a sort of certificate. The thing also has a list of drivers and a port of xps and pilot xps I saw only once and could not remove - he said that it was in use? What is the name of the xps driver in Device Manager? I don't see listed xps driver. I think that the best thing would be to delete this device and all it's components of my computer. It is the misfortune.

    Hi DadVQ,

    ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

    This problem occurs because of a missing or corrupted Rundll32.exe file. This problem can also be caused by a virus.

    Follow the suggestions below for a possible solution:

    Method 1: Follow the steps mentioned in the article below and check if the problem still persists.

    Cannot find the Rundll32.exe file when you open Control Panel

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/812340

     

    Method 2: If the problem persists, I also suggest that you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

    The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

     

    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

    Important: While hard disk analysis if bad sectors are found when scanning try to repair this area, all available on which data can be lost.

    Let us know if that helps.

  • What is"safe" to remove in my add and remove programs?

    What is 'safe' to remove in my add and remove programs?

    As the "Show updates" box is NOT checked, pretty much everything shown in Add / Remove programs other than "Windows Service Pack 3" is safe to delete.

    If you'll be glad later is another story.

    If you don't know what a given application, you can either Google it or ask here and someone will probably be able to tell you what it is and if it is likely that any other thing depends on the application.  For example, it is 'safe' remove the different versions of Microsoft .NET Framework, but this would almost certainly result in another application no longer able to function.

  • How to uninstall windows xp, it is not in my add and remove programs

    I got a new hard drive put in my computer 4 years ago, it runs really bad now the guy installed xp professional, I can't do a system restore, I want to uninstall xp and install again but it is not in my Add Remove programs so I don't know how to uninstall it, can anyone help?

    The only way to "Uninstall" an operating system is to delete or format the partition on which it is installed.

    After saving all the data you want to keep, simply boot from the Windows XP installation CD.  You will be offered the possibility to delete, create, and format partitions as part of the installation process. (You may need to rearrange the order of the boot devices in the PC BIOS to boot from the CD.)
