mediaget2 is installed and running on my computer, how can I get rid of him?
Original title: program installation
I learned that a program called mediaget2 is installed and running on my computer. I tried to open the program, but nothing has been posted. When I tried to uninstall, I was told that the program was running. Please help me to get rid as I
cannot open or uninstall.
If you use Windows XP, you should uninstall it by going to control panel, click Add/Remove programs. Scroll down to MediaGet2, and then uninstall it.
If you use Windows Vista or Windows 7, go to control panel, click programs and features. Scroll down to MediaGet2, and then uninstall it.If these methods do not contribute to uninstall MediaGet2, you can download a 3rd party software program and then remove MediaGet2.
I hope this helps.

I can't seem to open all the links on Facebook or other websites without getting a pop up saying, «I need to update my HD media player» How can I stop this from happening? I tried to uninstall MacKeeper, Niceplayer and MacPlayer without success. I guess there are still a few hidden files somewhere on my computer that I have no idea how to get rid of. I also googled one forum mac how to get rid of the problem and within 5 seconds, I am immediately directed to a site that tells me I have to update my player. Help!

I have Acrobat professional 9. I moved it to my new computer Windows 10. Whenever I have printed on a home printer it ask again me if I want to improve and I only have 12 days to do it. How can I get rid of him. I have a valid license. What is the cost and benefits, the upgrade to Acrobat 9 professional to the latest version (I think it's X)
No, X is not the last. In fact, X, as 9 is now unsupported. After X XI, after that XI was DC. DC is the current version. No upgrade price from 9 more, unfortunately. You can subscribe to DC, and this is recommended because it gets new features faster and includes future updates (probably will be necessary as Microsoft moves to Windows 10 edition when they feel like it, instead of waiting for Windows 11/12 etc..)

It's irriating and it just doesn't seem to go away. How can I get rid of him without losing bookmarks and information?

When I connect to the net with my broadband prepaid, (error tk_scandr) keeps popping up. How can I get rid of him.
Hi StevoD1,
(1) if it works well before?
(2) remember to make changes?
(3) what version of Windows you are running on the computer?
(4) what is the complete error message you receive?
Put the computer to boot and then check if the problem persists
Follow step 1 in the link below,
How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
If everything works well after a clean boot, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem.
Continue with the remaining steps to pin-point on the third party service.
After find you the program that is causing the problem, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program, if you rarely use that you should consider uninstalling the software.Important: n ' forget not to put the computer to a normal startup follow step 7 in the link.

How can I get rid of a pop-up - found Sttray.Exe-entry point
When I start my computer, I get the following pop up: Sttray.Exe entry point not found. The procedure entry point locate string could not be located in the dynamic link library stlang.dll. Please how can I get rid of this pop up, and what it means? Thank you. PS my computer is a Dell Inspiron 9400, and I run Windows XP.
Hi Lewisday,
I do not think it is a virus problem or infection - this is a notice of failed to start, not a type of infection of popup. I think you have a problem with loading the Sigmatel Audio driver. Go to Device Manager and check to see if it shows problems with the driver. Go to control panel / sound and make sure you can configure everything you should be able to do it - if it is not charging I expect you have some type of audio issue.
Here is the info on sttray.exe: http://www.what-is-exe.com/filenames/sttray-exe.html.
I also have the chance to have a Dell 9400/E1705 laptop and this applies to the Sigmatel Audio driver. You should check your Dell Service tag number, but will probably end up here: http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/DriverDetails/DriverFileFormats?DriverId=NN9X1&FileId=2940571307&productCode=inspiron-9400&urlProductCode=False.
It runs at startup for me. It seems that you are having problems with the driver. I recommend that you download and update the driver on the system and restart and who may well solve your problem. You would therefore, by using Device Manager.
Without it, you can have problems with your sound (maybe not completely - but maybe in terms of getting the best quality). I've never tried without it and I have mine set to update for Vista now.
If you do not want to see what happens if you don't just run this application at startup (which will remove the popup as well) and since it is more likely is not already running anyway and yet you don't mention sound problems (maybe you do not just use anything but computers audio base that maybe does not need - I'm not sure) , you can go to start / run and type msconfig.exe, and then enter. Go to the faucet of startup and uncheck the box next to Sigmatel or sttray.exe, save the changes and reboot. I bet that the notice has disappeared-, but did you notice changes to your audio files? If this is not the case, then perhaps you can live without it if the above has not resolved things.
In any event it is not a virus, removing startup thing will remove the popup and update the driver may solve the problem and allow the feature to stay (if you notice or care).
I hope this helps.
Good luck!
