• XP Pro is getting clogged with updates - can I uninstall?

  I have a Dell Optiplex 170 L desktop running XP Pro SP3 - I am constantly warning that my hard disk memory is less than the threshold and it seems that the system is clogged with updates dating back to 2007.

  Can uninstall these - for example, those before SP3 install?

  XPI * not * get "clogged" with updates.  ;-)

  Windows XP with all kinds of updates (if you started with no Service Pack and worked your way through to SP3, one at a time and all post-SP3 updates including those in option, you would still be below 10 GB - probably under 5 GB) is low.  If there is a lack of space, chances are it is * your * data or your installed applications.  Not only it would be imprudent to uninstall the updates that you have properly installed - you would earn very little to do (in terms of space.)

  You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

  When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

  -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
  -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
  -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

  You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

  1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
  2. click on the System Restore tab.
  3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
  4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
  5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

  You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

  Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

  -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
  -Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
  -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
  -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
  -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
  -Click OK.
  -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
  -Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.

  Cleaning the components of update on your Windows XP computer

  While probably not 100% necessary-, it is probably a good idea at this time to ensure that you continue to get the updates you need. This will help you ensure that your system update is ready to do it for you.

  Download and run the MSRT tool manually:
  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/malwareremove/default.mspx
  (Ignore the details and download the tool to download and save to your desktop, run it.)

  Reset.

  Download/install the latest program Windows installation (for your operating system):
  (Windows XP 32-bit: WindowsXP-KB942288-v3 - x 86 .exe )
  (Download and save it to your desktop, run it.)

  Reset.

  and...

  Download the latest version of Windows Update (x 86) agent here:
  http://go.Microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=91237
  ... and save it to the root of your C:\ drive. After you register on theroot of the C:\ drive, follow these steps:

  Close all Internet Explorer Windows and other applications.

  AutoScan--> RUN and type:
  %SystemDrive%\windowsupdateagent30-x86.exe /WUFORCE
  --> Click OK.

  (If asked, select 'Run'). --> Click on NEXT--> select 'I agree' and click NEXT--> where he completed the installation, click "Finish"...

  Reset.

  Now reset your Windows with this FixIt components update (you * NOT * use the aggressive version):

  Reset.

  Now that your system is generally free of malicious software (assuming you have an AntiVirus application), you've cleaned the "additional applications" that could be running and picking up your precious memory and the processor, you have authorized out of valuable and makes disk space as there are no problems with the drive itself and your Windows Update components are updates and should work fine - it is only only one other thing youpouvez wish to make:

  Get and install the hardware device last drivers for your system hardware/system manufacturers support and/or download web site.

  If you want, come back and let us know a bit more information on your system - particularly the brand / model of the system, you have - and maybe someone here can guide you to the place s x of law to this end. This isn't 100% necessary - but I'd be willing to bet that you would gain some performance and features in making this part.

  If you do all that - probably your Windows XP machine will run better she never has.

• installed an optional update for webcam now I can't uninstall the optional update

  I installed an optional update for a live! Cam optia pro webcam now camera is not working and I can't uninstall this optional update and I have no restore points...

  Can not install you because there is no entry for it in programs and features or updates installed or because the list has no uninstall capability because there is such an option, but it does not work?

  I know that you do not want to hear this, but you must keep some restore points available for situations like this, even if you are not using intensively or on a regular basis.

  Download and install Revo: http://www.snapfiles.com/reviews/revo-uninstaller/revouninstaller.html and see if it works.  Be careful.  The update cannot be a separate thing that can be uninstalled (this is often the case and only a system restore can fix the problem) and try to uninstall can uninstall the entire program - but then again, you may need to do anyway.

  If this does not work, then I suggest you to uninstall the entire program (update and everything) and re-install the original program without the update (and then download and add some other updates that you installed before the latter).  You must also reinstall the drivers and/or firmware - I don't know exactly what is involved, but it should probably be similar if it is not exactly like when you got it.  This should solve the problem.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• I have 3 versions of Photoshop CC and 2 versions of first CC installed on my computer after the update. Can I uninstall one of them?

  After my laptop updated my applications, I now Photoshop CC (32 bit), Photoshop CC (64-bit) and Photoshop CC (2014) display installed on my computer. I also shows CC first and first CC (2014). Can I uninstall these they take up valuable space on my primary SSD? Help, please. It sounds ridiculous.

  I just uninstalled Photoshop CC, CC Indesign and Illustrator CC and did not experience any hitch.  EDIT: If you have plugins refer to John T Smith post below. I don't.

  Now time for the mug shot:

  -C' is a year + since switching to the CC; What does in the passage your brand identity at a "SaaS" society if you are not going to do rolling releases? You don't just want to pack and ship the physical boxes more? It is amazing to me. Tell your developers/architects to install some case of Linux (preferably Arch) and see how they handle upgrades of the package. If you guys weren't so phobic of Linux you might have picked up on how do it with elegance the package/app updates.

  -Who, in Marketing thought "well *, if we have a fragmented, CC ecosystem might as well just stick at the end year. If this is going to be your naming convention you should push an update to rename the former CC (2013).

  S ' Please, refresh your creative cloud app immediately. As @unconsenting posted before, HD space is luxury and cannot be wasted. Why not have a prompt asking if the user wants to uninstall any previous version? Before you find the uninstall file, I threw a look through the CC app for a Uninstall button does not exist. Ridiculous that I had to open the Applications folder (or sorting through the many Adobe uninstall applications, which displays to light) and 3 run uninstall applications, each uninstall a 5 min, after spending 15 minutes the new update running

• I installed Firefox today but it does not open and the icon in the taskbar will not close and I can't uninstall it and the helper does not work either?

  I tried everything I know to uninstall the new version of Firefox. I also installed Aurora beta and it had the same behavior, and I managed to uninstall that. I can't open a browser ff to work on it with the help of a large part of your support information. I click the icon, but it does not start on the desktop but the clock running as Task Manager. I have to end task in Task Manager to close it. I can not uninstall and tried the system restore, but this also does not work due to another problem with my antivirus program.

• Can open Firefox XPCOM file is missing. He can either uninstall and cannot download the new exe. What can I do?

  Equipped with Windows Vista. Stop down my PC two day and when I booted up it would not start. Click on the button of power again and it started in safe mode and asked me to run a repair program that I made. After that Firefox does not open and I get the message "XPCOM is missing." everything else works. Tried to uninstall Firefox and cannot do it either. the uninstaller from Control Panel does not work and I found the Mozilla Firefox uninstall Help files and which will not be executed. I get the windows on the screen asking me to continue, or cancel and when I hit continue the dialog box just disappears and nothing happens. Can not download Firefox exe file again. I am running Trend Micro security PC.

  You need to reinstall, you don't, because none of your bookmarks, history etc. WILL NOT BE LOST.
  Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

  1. Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
  2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
  3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
     • Windows:
       • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
       • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
     • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
     • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
  4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
     1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
     2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.
