Add and remove updates

can I remove updates add remove programs, such as Java, Microsoft?

curtPbdy,
Yes Microsoft updates can be removed from the Add/Remove Programs, but they must be removed properly or could cause problems.  If the updates from other programs are not the list in the Add/Remove Programs list, you will need to check with the manufacturer of program deletion of updates.

    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.

  • 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.

  • Add and remove programs error

    When I press on add and remove the button, it displays 'Please wait a moment of populating the list' and then never goes any further. I could wait forever, but it never gives me the list. I need to remove some programs, please help

    When I press on add and remove the button, it displays 'Please wait a moment of populating the list' and then never goes any further. I could wait forever, but it never gives me the list. I need to remove some programs, please help

    Forever is a long time.  How long took you?

    Even if you did not mention the error messages, check the permissions as explained here:http://windowsxp.mvps.org/arpwc.htm

    Add/Remove programs operating in Mode safe?

    See if there is a link "Uninstall" in the start menu > all programs for the application you want to uninstall entry.  By clicking on these links is exactly the same as using the Add/Remove Programs button.

    You have an updated antivirus application and have you recently scanned withMalwareBytes Anti-Malware and SUPERAntiSpyware ?  If you have not done these last two, I suggest that you do.

  • How to add and remove songs to a 2nd ipod in iTunes

    I have a 2nd ipod connected to my iTunes account however I'm having trouble to add and remove songs on this 2nd ipod.

    FAQ says simply drag a song from the list of music on the playlist to add and song highlight and press Delete to delete however by dragging the song more did not work and I can't find a tab delete when I select a song to remove.

    Thanks for any help and advice.

    Select the relevant tracks, and then press delete or Backspace should be used to remove the device.

    If files slipped and dropped to this topic does not transfer so it may be best to restore the device, then recharge it. In practice, making lists of reading with the content you want to sync to each device and then synchronize each device with its corresponding list may be easier to manage manually.

  • DELETE THE GAMES ADD AND REMOVE _

    Im trying to remove some games add and remove prog but when you click on delete, nothing happens, I want to put on an external hardrive to make room on my laptop, can someone help me with this?

    Hello

    Some programs are not designed to installation of Microsoft standards, and have their own installation/uninstallation program. They have just added a line to register to make is appear in the menu of programs and features.
    You might look into the menu all programs for the game that you want to move and see if there is an option to uninstall it it.

    If the game has used the Windows Installer Setup program, you can use the Windows Installer Cleanup utility to remove registry items 'more', but you still need to delete the files and folders of programs. You can then reinstall. This may not be the cleanest solution however... depending on how well the developer has created the installation routine. The re - install the game should clean up some things.

    Download the W I Cleanup utility: read the article, although it is ex officio, it relates to most of the other programs as well.

    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.
