Add/Remove programs

Add/Remove programs will not remove some programs, so, how can I remove them safetly?

Most of the programs of Apple Inc. will not update, because of the old software cannot be removed.

Quote: An older version of Apple Software Update Guy can be deleted. And the same is true with Hello and several other Apple programs. I just bought an i - Pod Touch 32 GB 4th generation and want to use al fetures that come with it have iTunes can offer.

Question number two; my computer was built by my nephew, who has done a great job, and I have a valid copy that Windos XP Pro 64-bit Edition installed on the computer, the problem is that it does not provide me the dics that he used to install all programs for Windows XP Pro 64-bit Edition. Is there a way I can get a copy? And yes I already ask my nephew and he's more about them. I want to srcub the hard disk and then reinstall! So every thing can work as new, as this should also take care of question number 1. There are other programs that I can not delete by using Add or remove programs.

For your iTunes problem...

This message occurs when the registry key pointing to iTunes uninstaller is corrupted (or uninstall of iTunes has been moved or deleted).  The simplest thing to do is just clean things, and then try again.

Used to have a tool just to do this, called the Windows Installer Microsoft Cleanup utility.  Apparently, however, when this tool has been used (I think with MS Office), removes sometimes more he was supposed to, and that's why Microsoft has removed the tool of its download servers.

The Windows Installer Cleanup utility is always available from http://majorgeeks.com/Windows_Installer_CleanUp_Utility_d4459.html , or you can use the free Revo Uninstaller.  Before using or the other of these tools, create a restore point from the system, backup the registry with C:\WINDOWS\ERUNT, or (if you can afford) creates a full disk image or a clone - just in case.

Here are the usual directions to perform a "clean installation" of iTunes, based on Support of Apple HT1926 article.

Go to control panel > Add/Remove programs
Remove these applications:
1 Apple Software Update
2. Apple Mobile Device Support
3 Hello
4 iPod for Windows (this may or may not exist, be it, it is not necessary, then we can remove it)
5 iTunes
6 QuickTime

Open my computer > C: > Program Files
Delete this files (if present)
1 iPod
2 iTunes
3 QuickTime

Empty your temp directory:
Open my computer > C: > Documents & Settings > username > Local Settings and delete the contents of the folder called "Temp".

If you don't see the local settings, enable hidden files:
Tools > Folder Options > view tab
Select Show Hidden Files & folder, and then click OK

Once this file is empty, restart the computer

[See note above regarding cleanup utility]
Download & install the Windows Installer Cleanup utility:
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/290301/
Launch the utility: start > programs > Windows Installer Clean Up
Select one of the applications mentioned above and click on remove

Restart the computer
Download & reinstall iTunes from here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

Question number two; my computer was built by my nephew, who has done a great job, and I have a valid copy that Windos XP Pro 64-bit Edition installed on the computer, the problem is that it does not provide me the dics that he used to install all programs for Windows XP Pro 64-bit Edition.

You will need to buy another copy of XP 64 if that's what you want.  Because Microsoft stopped selling Windows XP quite while ago - and XP 64 was never that popular anyway - it may be difficult to find and expensive.  Here is one (last one left) on Amazon for $90: http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Windows-System-Builders-Version/dp/B000JTBX08/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1322966638&sr=8-2

  • Remove labview 2009 without using Add/Remove program

    Hi all

    I have problem with the removal of LabVIEW 2009.

    I deleted some folders in the C drive, folder OR.

    Now I can't start my LabVIEW 2009 and it does not appear in my Add/Remove Programs list.

    I tried to delete all the folders and files in the C drive under folder OR, but the pop out error message shows that I don't have the authority to do so.

    So, how can I remove it completely?

    I had intended to reinstall LabVIEW 2009 after that I have completely removed.

    Very much appreciate your help.

    That's why I say try to reinstall LabVIEW. He could just do a repair of your installation. Then, you can use Add/Remove programs to uninstall completely.

    But when you uninstall completely there will be folders OR remaining. These are things like user.lib.

    Have you tried to reinstall the runtime?

    One last thing. I don't know how you got your installation so messed up, but remember that if you build a Setup program you should not install on a system with the development environment. There are so many things that can go wrong.

  • Successful marked KB2419632 update but do not show in Add/Remove programs

    Hi all

    I have Windows XP, SP3.

    This update (KB2419632) that successful shows in the history of Windows Update for January 13, 2011.

    However, he was not in the list of updates in Add or remove programs.

    I noticed only 2 weeks later (January 2011-27).

    I downloaded the update and he ran for office. It installed and is now listed in Add/Remove programs.

    I know I should ask questions first, but I found this forum later.

    It was the right thing to do? Should I keep or uninstall?

    I would do anything to this topic or next month updates will install as they always have?

    Never had any problems with the updates before.

    I also noticed the error Event ID 8 event with source crypt32 sometimes Viewer on 16 January and 27 January.

    Not sure if this is related to the issue of the update.

    Any help, tips are appreciated.

    Albenbell

    P.S. I have Norton Internet Security 2011 that I have updated since the 2010 version, about 3 weeks (8 January - 2011).

    Hi Albenbell,

    1. When did you start to question?

    2. you remember to make changes to the computer before this problem?

    3. do you have an antivirus/antispyware/security or other programs that are set to block it?

    Usually this will happen not unless if you make system changes that can remove the updates. However since you installed it again you can let him be here and no need to remove it. This problem won't happen with future updates and you can go ahead and install them.

    About event ID 8, you can consult the following KB articles and check.

    Crypt32 8 events reported continuously on Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, or Windows XP

    volume control was gone. I tried to go into my control panel to use it, but I get an error that says:

    I have lost my Windows XP disc in a move and can't reinstall the file to a disk, how to fix this?

    When you use certain features sounds and Audio devices, you see a message like this:

    Windows cannot display the control of volume on the taskbar because the Volume control program has not been installed. To install it use Add/Remove programs in Control Panel.

    It seems that the c:\windows\system32\sndvol32.exe file is missing.

    This may occur if your antivirus/antimalware application thinks the file is suspicious and quarantines (effectively delete) the file.  You can replace the missing file with a backup copy of the file that is in another folder on your system.

    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..

    Assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive...

    We know that XP keeps copies of critical system files in the following folder:

    c:\Windows\System32\dllcache

    Using the Explorer, search for or navigate to the following folder:

    c:\Windows\System32\dllcache

    Locate the sndvol32.exe file, right-click, choose copy (it copies the file to the Windows Clipboard).

    If your Solution Explorer settings are not set to display file extensions, you will see only a file called 'sndvol32' which has an icon that looks like to the volume control slider (this is the file you need).

    If the file is missing in the dllcache folder, look for a copy of the file in this folder:

    c:\windows\ServicePackFiles\i386

    Browsing from a level in the following folder:

    c:\Windows\System32

    Right-click on an empty area in the window of c:\windows\system32 and choose Paste to paste in the missing file where it belongs.

    Answered in the affirmative if invited to replace the existing file.

    Now try your features sounds and Audio devices.

    Note that run sfc/scannow will not replace the missing file because it is not this that sfc/scannow does.
