• Why Windows Media Player is not displayed in my list of programs and features?

  When I go into the Panel and then programs and features, Windows Media Player is not in the list. If I click on the Start button, then all programs, his list here. When I click on it, it opens, but it is not any music listed to see if it works. My question is, why it is not listed in the programs and features in Control Panel? Must indicate all items that are installed on my computer, at least I thought. If someone has an idea, I would appreciate a response. Thank you for your time and your help.

  All the built-in programs that are part of the Vista operating system will NOT be displayed in programs and features. To simplify the reason, Windows Media Player 11 is part of the operating system and cannot be uninstalled. So there is not need to be listed in programs and features, whose main goal is to uninstall or repair any installed programs. Another example is Windows Defender.

  For your information:

  In Windows 7, Windows Media Player 12 is also part of the operating system and it cannot be uninstalled and it will not reveal in programs and features either.

• I am unable to find all the programs and features in win7 as I want to uninstall yahoo messenger

  I am unable to find all the programs and features in win7 as I want to uninstall yahoo messenger

  That's what Yahoo have to say - http://help.yahoo.com/kb/index?y=PROD_ACCT&page=content&id=SLN408&actp=lorax&locale=en_US

  If the control panel is set to display the categories - programs - programs and features

  If the control panel is set to display the icon - programs and features.

  Yahoo Messenger should be in this list.

  If you say programs and features isn't in the Panel or Yahoo Messenger is installed, but not in the list, then something else is wrong.

  Try in "search programs and files" type "programs and features" (without the quotes). In the results list, you should see "programs and features" near or at the top of the list, click it.

  If Yahoo messenger is installed and will not uninstall, see the above link to the bottom of his page.

• Not all installed programs appear in "programs and features".

  A few days ago, I installed GTA IV with all components like Rockstar Social Club, Games for Windows and things related as update for .net 3.5 SP1 and so on. Since then, whenever I open the "programs and features" dialog box (I dunno if it's the correct name because I use a German, Vista Ultimate SP1...) the dialog box shows some of the installed programs and the scanning process remains active all the time. In the Task Manager, the explorer.exe shows a 99% CPU usage, and that's all. Even after a few hours, it's the same thing. Is this a known issue? Y at - it advice or ideas (other then reinstall Vista ;)?

  Marcus

  Hello again Marcus!

  I was wondering a few things...

  You never said if your system meets the minimum requirements for installation of GTA IV...

  Namely:

  • Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo 1.8 Ghz, AMD Athlon X 2 64 2.4 Ghz
  • Memory: 1.5 GB
  • Space free hard drive: 16 GB
  • Video card: 256 MB NVidia 7900 / 256 MB ATI X 1900
  • DirectX 9-compatible stereo sound card
  • Keyboard
  • Mouse

  If your system does not meet the minimum requirements, alone could cause 99% CPU usage and problems to run the game.

  In addition, I never asked before, but I wanted to know if you were trying to uninstall GTA IV when you are looking for in "programs and features"?

  If you're still having problems, I suggest to uninstall GTA. If you don't see it in programs and features, you can download the following Microsoft utility and use it to uninstall GTA.

  Windows Install CleanUp Utility: http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/290301

  This will have to be run in XP compatibility mode in Vista

  To run a program in compatibility mode:

  1. Right click on the shortcut for the item.
  2. Click on Properties
  3. Click on the compatibility tab.
  4. Check the run this program in compatibility mode for , and then select the version of Windows, the program has been designed for the list. If you don't know what the program is designed for, try Windows XP (Service Pack 2).
  5. Click OK

  After uninstalling GTA, see if you have the same problems of use of CPU...

• Pavilion dv2 Notebook: how to uninstall items in "All programs" which are not displayed via programs and features

  I do not play games on my computer. I uninstalled 'My HP Games' (32 items) via the control panel. However, there are 11 items that appear in the games through "All programs", but are not displayed by the intermediary of "Control Panel / programs and features. There is also a link to eBay.com, in "All programs" that I would like to delete.

  How to uninstall these components?

  Hi @jarhtmd,

  Thank you for your response.

  The sample you provided it seems there are some games that you should be able to uninstall in Add Remove programs.

  For example, 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Chess'. When you look in the programs listed do you see "Microsoft Games\Chess, if so you should be able to uninstall."  It would be listed under Microsoft Games / and the name of the game.

  As some of the Microsoft games that came with the Windows installation you can not have an option to uninstall them.

  Those ending with "lnk" is just links. Try right click and delete.

  Good luck!

• C6280 all-in-One is not recognized by my computer. Uninstalled all HP programs and reinstalled drive

  My C6280 all-in-One printer worked flawlessly for several years now.  Tonight (after work well throughout the day) when I tried to scan a document to make a .pdf file, I clicked on my desktop for the HP printer icon and nothing happened.  The computer was no connection to the printer.  I restarted the computer (it is Windows XP) and still no connection.  Check all the cables connected physically.  Printer disconnected from the computer and the power source for a minute then don't... always reconnected no connection.  So I uninstalled all HP programs and reinstalled the drive to see if that would fix the problem, but it has no effect.  Don't know what to do from here.

  Well, it was a road of circuatis, but I was finally able to get uninstalled everything and re-installed correctly and I am now able to connect to the printer directly from the computer with the icon on the desktop.  Thanks for your help.  PHEW!

• Why all my programs and files open with Microsoft word?

  All my programs and files open with Microsoft Word and I need to know how to change that?

  I've seen that happen before when opening a program via a shortcut (for example. LNK file), you are asked what type of program to open it with. After Word selection using the Select a program from a list of programs installedand check always use the selected program to open this type of file, the Word document referenced by the shortcut of origin opens in Word, as it should.

  The problem is that now all shortcuts (for example. LNK files) on the desktop or in the browser will want to be opened by Word. This is known as a file association. . The same condition can occur if you have performed these actions on one. JPG or even a. EXE, but the. LNK explanation is much more likely.

  This has happened enough that a small utility was written to cancel the. LNK file association was created. There is a registry hack to do this, but I recommend the utility unLNK for its ease of use.

  I used to send people on another site to download this utility, but this site has become confused with all the ads and fake download links. I put a copy on by SkyDrive own here.

  

  Just download, then use the utility to unassociate the. LNK files for the user or globally delete the file type and let windows rebuild a new default.

And Yes, all programs can be accessible and visible directory C: windows. I restarted my laptop but it does not help. Please help me solve this problem. Thank you

  Hi Ayesha,

  Thank you for the update on the issue.

  If the problem persists in this case, you can check the question in the new user profile and see if problem persists or not. Try to create the new profile of the user as administrator and check the status of your question in the new user profile.

  If you create the new user account, nothing will be lost, is that the thing that it would be in the other account that you are currently using. However create new user account is a diagnostic stage, if everything works well in the new user account, we can easily move the files and programs for the new user account.

  So, for now please try to create the new user account as an administrator from the link provided below. Make sure that you follow the steps mentioned under create a Local account and get back to us with the State, we will be happy to help you.

  Kind regards
