Add or remove programs? Uninstall it says invalid or data has been corrupted, will not continue.

Add or remove programs. The program I want to uninstall it is Printmaster 150.00 MB. I tried to uninstall it but uninstall it says invalid or data has been corrupted,

will not continue. How to get out he computer?

If you have the original installation media, a method that often works when an uninstall program is corrupt is to reinstall the app and then uninstall it.

Otherwise, you could try free Revo Uninstaller or see http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/comphelp/msg081415488395.html (unfortunately, the link to the manual uninstall instructions doesn't work; support for Broderbund software has been adopted by Encore.com, the search engine it leaves something to be desired; however, you can ask for help in a forum yet http://forums.encoreusa.com/).

How to contact Technical Support (it is not clear if all Printmaster versions are still supported; I would try telephone assistance rather than on the web):
http://forums.encoreusa.com/TM.asp?m=24071&mpage=1&key=%E5%B8%87

The following (below the line *) comes from a post on the support forums forum moderator yet.  I have not linked to it because earlier in the post, it is suggested to use a registry cleaner in the manual uninstall.  Certainly, I do NOT recommend to use any registry cleaner.

*************************************************************************************************************
NOTE:
this message does not apply to PrintMaster 2.0 or Print Shop 2.0.

Broderbund programs, including (but not limited to) print shop, PrintMaster, designer of Scrapbook memories of creation and creator of calendar, are installed in the Program Files folder where most of the software are installed. However, many Broderbund programs will install also files and folders in other places on the hard drive.

When one of these programs of Broderbund is uninstalled because it is suspected that the installation is corrupt, it's always a good idea to make sure to manually delete all the files and folders stored on the hard drive that are not deleted automatically during an uninstall normal - to ensure that all corruption is removed before the program, is reinstalled.

Here are the paths of the additional folders where Broderbund software is commonly installed:

Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users Data\Broderbund logiciels\Print

and

C:\Documents and Settings\ [your user name] \Local Settings\Application Data\Broderbund logiciels\Print

WinVista/Win 7: C:\Users\All Users\Broderbund logiciels\Print

and

C:\Users\[your-username]\AppData\Local\Broderbund logiciels\Print.

and

C:\ProgramData\Broderbund logiciels\Print

**********

PrintMaster address books can be accessed from and saved to the BOOKS folder that is a subfolder of the folder prints shown below (PrintMaster address books may be accessed from or saved to the Documents folder)

Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users Data\Broderbund logiciels\Print

WinVista/Win 7:Print and C:\Users\All Users\Broderbund logiciels\Print logiciels\ C:\ProgramData\Broderbund

(As you can see, when PrintMaster address books are registered under WinVista and Windows 7, they are saved in two files).

For example, the address for PrintMaster 18 books would be saved in these folders on WinVista or Windows7 computer

C:\ProgramData\Broderbund Software\Print\PrintMaster\18.0\Books

C:\Users\All Users\Broderbund Software\Print\PrintMaster\18.0\Books

To make sure that saved the address books are not deleted during the uninstall process, they must be saved prior to PrintMaster is uninstalled. When these address books are restored, it will be necessary to restore these in the same two folders address books - because an address book will not appear in the file. Open list, if not in the two files.

Address books print shop can easily be stored in the Documents folder. So, if you have registered your address books in the Documents folder, it is not necessary to save the address book before you uninstall the print shop.

**********

Files that control the Project Gallery and the Art Gallery are stored in the folders of ART PROJECTS & which are subfolders of this folder to print

Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\ [your username] \Local Data\Broderbund logiciels\Print

WinVista/Win 7: C:\Users\[your-username]\AppData\Local\Broderbund logiciels\Print.

For example, ART & for PrintMaster 18 PROJECT files would be in this folder on WinVista or Windows7 computer

C:\Users\[your-username]\AppData\Local\Broderbund Software\Print\PrintMaster\18.0\PROJECTS

Because these files can easily become corrupt if the video card driver is out of date or corrupted, the program folder that has been uninstalled (in this case, the folder 18.0) must be removed before the program is re-installed. It is completely safe to delete the folder PrintMaster - because a new facility this 18.0 folder will be performed when PrintMaster is uninstalled.

If there is only one version of PrintMaster installed on the computer, the PrintMaster folder in this example could also be deleted safely.

**********

It is not absolutely necessary to remove the Adbook.exe file that controls the program PrintMaster addressbook. But it's always a good idea to know that this file is installed in this folder

C:\Program Files\Fichiers Files\Broderbund\UMM

  • I can't add a component from the Add Remove program window as says could not initialize winxp

    I can't add a component from the Add Remove program window as says could not initialize winxp

    My victory is xp professional ver 2002 service pack 3

    It's usually easy to fix, but if you removed all the dll and inf files, you can have a bunch of other problems that you have not yet discovered.

    If you mean when you try to use Add/Remove Windows components you see a message like this:

    Install was not able to load the master file.
    The application could not be initialized.

    This happens because this file is missing:

    c:\windows\inf\sysoc.inf

    There is no copy backup of this file on your system and run the System File Checker will not replace the missing file (sorry, that Microsoft committed Support Engineer 'experts').

    You will need to get a real copy of your XP bootable installation CD or from a reliable source.

    There's a copy on my SkyDrive, you can download - here's how:

    I downloaded a copy of XP Pro SP3 file you need on my SkyDrive (everyone has a SkyDrive for file sharing).

    You can download it and when you do, put a copy of the file in this folder (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive):

    c:\Windows\Inf

    Here is the link to my SkyDrive and you can get the file you need here:

    https://SkyDrive.live.com/?CID=6a7e789cab1d6f39&ID=6A7E789CAB1D6F39! 311

    When you see the files available for download, you can not see the file extension (.exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc.), but when download you them they will have the right extension.

    When you download the file (especially if you use Internet Explorer), when you get a chance to save the file, your browser is unable to save the file with an extension (by example, .exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc) then you will need to manually add the extension appropriate to the file when you download the file before you save it.

    You can download the file without the extension, and then rename the file to add the appropriate extension.  You do not want to use a file named sysoc when the name of the file should really be called sysoc.inf (if the downloaded file has no extension, you will need to change the name of the file to add the appropriate extension to make it work.

    You must then copy and paste the downloaded folder appropriate on your system.

  • When I try to open, add and remove programs system32\rundll. Sayes that it can't find it

    cannot open Add and remove programs... no system32 rundll can you help me?

    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.

After that I ran these anti-virus programs and remove viruses, I was not able to open any more virus scanners.

  • In "Add or remove programs' done 'change '?

    I am trying to run Combofix and it want me to have the updated Recovery Console which I think has something to do with "Service Pack 2, 3.0" I tried the update section, but it says that everything is up to date.  So I chose change in Add or remove programs and something happened, but I do not know what? Laughing out loud.

    Hello

    Change = repair, most of the time. Although sometimes it is just another menu to uninstall, etc.. It is usually labeled in three ways - modification, repair, change / repair.

    Kind regards

  • I'm unable to open ' add or remove programs "-after previuosly deletion of multiple applications.

    I downloaded free TV and after a few seconds I started to receive several pop ups.  So I went into 'Add oir remove programs' and tried to delete only whatt I added indicating by date.  Now, I can not enter in «Add or remove prgrams.»  I get an error message indicating that I have no file required to open this file.

    Apparently, I removed something I shouldn't.

    Help, please.

    First of all, you can not rely or guardianship what add / remove programs tells you about the dates, time, last used, etc..

    For example, I use my MS Office every day, but the ARP says that it is rarely used and last used on 2010-10-10.

    Such things would work correctly if the installation programs would put enough correct information in the registry during the installation of applications, but most are not.  Even applications like MS Office Microsoft isn't much good.  Do not pay attention to this information.

    If you get an error message, you must validate exactly what the said error, think what ARP file is missing and tell us more about your system.

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

    You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

    What you see you don't think you need to see?

    If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

    If the safety of MS Scanner could remove some data, I would not use it.  Why would you use something that might make you lose data?  I find it quite helpless though.

    If sfc/scannow solves your problem, I'll send you or your charitable organization preferred $100 Americans.

    You will not run sfc/scannow successfully anyway unless you have a XP installation CD authentic which corresponds to your Service Pack installation (most people don't).  The technical support engineers always seem to leave out this little nugget of information.

    While you wait, I want to this instead:

    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:
    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
    They can be uninstalled later if you wish.
