Cannot delete programs

need to remove an application in win xp. did not work with the Elimination of programs. failed to uninstall some programs.

Rather thin details. (How do you know that there can be no uninstall?)  Any errors? How have you tried to uninstall? etc)
The best I can do with what you have provided is here:

    Hello!

    I have some problems with my computer HP (h8-1320eo) for about 2-3 months now. The problem is, that when I go in remove programs and I have support to remove this program, the cursor shows that it is loading and after 5 to 8 seconds, it stops loading and nothing happens. When again, try to support on remove this program, he is familiar with, please wait while a program is in the process of deletion.

    I tried waiting for 30 min, and it did nothing.

    When I want to open Services, sometimes the cursor shows it to load, and still nothing happens. When I try again, it does not react, it is simply the sound of Windows and nothing happens. It does not reset if I restart my computer...

  • Cannot delete programs. Windows 7 says that I am not an administrator.

    I'm trying to delete a program in my laptop.  I am the only user of this laptop and its sole owner.  I get an error message that says that I can not remove the program because I am not an administrator.  It is doubly annoying because I'm unable to install a similar program that I really need to use because I can't remove this program (i.e., I can't install program verizon wireless because I can't uninstall Cricket).

    I have no need of several user accounts (more a user account account administrator) and will not be set up anything like that, no matter what Microsoft is necessary.  With my current setup, which is ONLY AN account with my name (and apparently not an 'administrator' account, whatever that means) how can I remove programs I didn't need?

  • Impossible to remove an unknown account, get the error 'cannot delete the unknown account because this object inherits permissions from its parent.

    I have several programs that when I go to security there is an unknown account and when I try to delete unknown account I get this message that you cannot delete the Unknown(S-1...) account because this object inherits from its parent perssions. To delete the Unknown(S-1...) account, you must prevent this object from inheriting permissions. Turn off the option for the inheritance of permissions and then try to delete the Unknown(S-1...) account again. I tried the edit and advance features in respect of security without success. Why have I not control over security permissions?

    Found a solution to this problem.

    Go to the folder parent of the folder that contains the files with this unknown account number:
    1. right click on the PARENT folder, and then click Properties.
    2. on the Security tab, go to the advanced options (bottom window)
    3. in the new window, click the button change the permissions in the bottom.
    4. Select the Group (NOT AUTHENTICATED, just of users USERS) users
    5. check "replace all permissions of child object with permissions inheritable of this object.
    6. click on the OK button or apply and done, fixed number.

    Hope this helps anyone else having this problem, for me it happened after reinstallation of win 7 on the same machine and keep my images on another partition, so it was spared by the new facility, so the old user account was always on the file permissions.
