Add or remove programs

HP Pavilion a767c

Windows XP

I have some stuff on my pc that I can't remove. It is not in my "Add or remove a program. How I can remove them.

If it is a virus/spyware/adware, download Malwarebytes:

http://download.CNET.com/Malwarebytes-anti-malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html

If this isn't the case, run msconfig and look in the Startup tab and see if you can find your program.  It should give you a path where it is on your hard drive.  If it is a legitimate program, it must be this uninstall.  If this isn't the case, you need to go to regedit under the run key, and you can remove the key.  If you are not familiar with the registry, I would have someone for you. You can make a backup of the registry before you make changes where you're wrong.  If you mess up, sometimes the machine is unusable until someone who knows what to do can put your registry database to normal for you.

  • 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.

  • How can I remove a duplicate 'Add or remove programs"icon in the control panel?

    Whenever I open the Control Panel on my computer, I see two icons "Add or Remove Programs". How can I fix this problem?

    Some of what you see in the Panel comes from Control Panel Extension files found in the folder c:\windows\system32 (assuming that XP is installed on your C drive).  If you look at our you will find some there. CPL files and those who do a lot of what you see in the Panel.

    The applet Add / Remove programs you see displayed in the Panel appears because there is a file there called:

    appwiz.cpl

    If you go to c:\windows\system32 and copy the appwiz.cpl file and call the copy something like jose.cpl then go to control panel, you will see so two addition / deletion of programs listed (and they both work).  Non believers, try it.

    If you see two copies of add or remove programs in Control Panel, both work?

    I don't know what your problem is exactly or how it got that way, but if you use the Windows Explorer and browse to c:\windows\system32 folder, and then click search for .cpl, you will get a list of all the .cpl in this folder files (and maybe also see copies of backup in the dllcache folder).

    Click the size column heading to sort the. CPL files by size, then look for appwiz.cpl in the list and then look for another. CPL file above or below that has the same size and date than the appwiz.cpl file and see what the name of this file is (as jose.cpl).  If there is another file that is the same size and date than the appwiz.cpl, that's your problem.

    If you find it will not know what it is, you can just rename the suspicious file to something ending with an extension .cpl (like jose.xxx) and see what things look like.  If things get worse, just rename the file, the original name and seek some other idea-ers.

    If you find the file that resembles appwiz.cpl and don't know what it is, tell us what you see and that someone can help you to understand.

    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.

    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.

  • 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

    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.
