  I would like you to try the following steps:

  Method 1: run Disk Cleanup and check if the problem is resolved.

  The disk cleanup tool lets you free up space on your hard disk by searching your disk for files that you can safely remove. You can choose to delete some or all of the files.

  Please visit this link to learn how to run the disk cleanup utility:

  Delete files using disk cleanup

  Note: these steps also apply to Windows 8.1 Overview.

  Method 2: run SFC scan and verify if the issue is resolved.

  The sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions. When the analysis is complete, the System File Checker tool indicates whether integrity violations were found. If integrity violations are detected, the System File Checker tool difficulty integrity violations.

  Follow these steps to scan SFC:

  a. press the Windows key + R and type cmd in the Run dialog box.

  b. right-click on the command prompt and select run as administrator.

  c. type sfc/scannow , and then press enter.

  NOTE: It can take some time to finish the race.

• cannot completely remove the Photosmart 2600 software

  Hello

  I'm helping someone with a HP Photosmart 2610 (all-in-one).  It is installed on the current computer for about 3 years and working fine.  From (probably) a few days ago when they hit on the printer, the scan button it says that the software is not installed.  I went to the HP solutions Center scanning settings and hit restore default settings.  It is then carried to the top of the list of applications to scan from the printer, but when you have chosen one that he said that he could not communicate with the computer.  Then, I thought that the best thing to do is to uninstall/reinstall the software.  I tried to do, but the software will not uninstall.  If I click on deleted on it in Add/Remove Programs, that looks like it is running for a second, but just stays there.  I looked for a removal utility but fails.  Any suggestions?

  Out of the hard drive was going bad, I replaced, reloaded Windows and everything is fine.

• Cannot completely remove "Windows.old"?

  I upgraded my second computer a couple of days from XP to Windows 7 Home Premium Full install and I tried to delete the folder windows.old the right way and he left the folder and files of SecuROM. Someone suggested trying to remove in 'safe mode', but that no longer works. The files are not too big, they are only 16 KB, but it would be nice to get rid of them.

  I also tried to delete the file in C: and it stands up and says this: this item is not found. It is no longer in C:\. Check the location of the item and try again.

  I found a solution and it worked. It was for Vista, but has also worked for me. I'm so happy to get rid of this thing!

  At the elevated command prompt, I entered in the following:

  For the withdrawal of the windows.old folder after a vista installation and an installation of Windows 7.
  
  del /S /Q /F C:\windows.old

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

  missing volume control

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

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

  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.

• This new facility, remove programs with add/remove program?

  I will upgrade to Windows 7 from Windows xp and need to do a clean install.  My question is can I remove all the programs with the Add/Remove program?

  Not necessary because by definition a 'Clean Install' will delete your previous system of operating Windows (XP in your case), all applications and personal data files (backup of your data files before you start the upgrade).

  After the upgrade to Windows 7, you must reinstall applications, so round up your software installation media and make sure you can find your software product keys.
