End of life programs remove the D drive which is the system restore partition

I am running Win Vista Home addition.  I downloaded and installed PowerPoint Viewer 2007.  Now, when I scan with Secunia I get a message that I have an end of life program, 2003 PPV, in my D drive system restore file.  How can I remove an obsolete program from drive D?

Sorry, but it does not work.  Drive D is partition of the hard disk system restore.  I tried everything to get there, and that cannot be done.

It may be worth mentioning that I ran a Windows search for files and folders looking for power pint Viewer 2003.  I've included the D drive in the search.  I got a recovery that the file is not found.

I finally opted for another suggestion and Secunia to ignore this file.  Now, everything seems to be okay.

Thanks for the suggestions which are appreciated regardless of the outcome.

  • Removed the system restore points

    I tried to install Samsung Kies and Samsung mobile driver, once I did and had problems, then I tried to uninstall, I went to the restoration of the system and realized that all the points that have been created have been deleted. I have a lot of space on my computer and the system restore is enabled. Is there anyway that I can get back them? I ran a virus scan and all is well, but I'm just worried for where my points went.

    Thank you

  • How to remove programs from the system tray without removing them from the startup?

    How to remove programs from the system tray without removing them from the startup on Windows XP folder?

    Hello

    The first step is to identify the program that represents the icon and decide whether it should be in the system tray (most are not necessary). Hold the cursor of the mouse on the icon to see the name of the program that launches the icon.

    The best bet is to click the icon to see if this opens the box of the program options. If so, look for a selection similar to "remove from the system tray.

    Alternatively, you can hide the icons in the system tray.

    Here's how:

    1. right click on the taskbar and select "Properties".

    2. in the "Notification area" click "Hide inactive icons" if she already unchecked and then click on the button "Customize".

    3. click on the ' column next to each of your current behavior and choose one of the three behaviors for each program icon that appears in the system tray: "Hide when it is idle," "Always hide", or "always show".»

    If you hide an icon, but then see it again the next time that you log on to Windows, you may need to uninstall the program to permanently remove the icon. Uninstall the program permanently removes the program from your computer. For more information, see Uninstall or change a program.

  • My computer will not open certain programs, and the system does not.

    I have really no idea what's wrong with my computer, so I'll just list the symptoms.

    The first and foremost problem is that my computer won't open some programs.  First thing I noticed when I tried to open iTunes and it did not open, no matter how many times I tried.  I went to restart my computer, and that opens up a host of new questions.

    My antivirus - Windows Live OneCare - software does not open.  I tried to turn on Windows Defender for malware, but it crashes when I try to do.  Not only does iTunes opens, but neither a few other programs I have on my computer--mainly those who could help me to solve this problem, such as the restoration of the system.  When I try to uninstall a program - all - nothing happens and he refuses to let me try to uninstall anything else, insisting something is already uninstall.  And my computer can't detect my printer.

    Which leads to my other problem: I have two computers connected to a network via an Ethernet cable.  The other computer is fine and can access the Internet fine, but when he sends something to the printer, nothing happens on the end of the printer.  It is a red 'X' the symbol of my network on my computer in the lower right corner (next to), so I guess this confirms my concerns about the network.  I don't understand what exactly is the problem, just that the other computer cannot print (it is not connected directly to the printer, mine is).

    Because Windows Live OneCare and Windows Defender does not work, I can not scan to see if it is the result of spyware or malware.  And because whenever I click on the system restore, nothing happens, I can't restore the computers to something else.  I'm completely stuck.  More critical functions simply do not work.

  • How to remove the system reserve of my computer?

    I installed Windows 7 Pro in Windows 7. I used a program of virtual drive to mount the iso of Windows 7. I then install Windows 7 pro. I started out in the 'new' Win 7 and let Windows do its thing updated and which do not. I have a Windows.old so I know that the operation went well. However, when I open the computer, he showed my C drive and an extra drive that I have 'E', but he also showed the system reserve partition drive. I know that this is part of the startup procedure so I know not, I can't delete it, but how do I remove it from my computer, where it shows all the readers of mjy? It wasn't until I reinstalled Windows (by that I mean the partition was there but does not in the window of the computer).

    To my knowledge, the partition of the reserve of should not be assigned a drive letter so do not appear in the window of the computer. My score is assigned to the letter G

    Hello

    Usually system reserved partition will not be assigned a drive letter. However, as you can see the score with a drive letter, I suggest you to refer to the article and remove the assigned drive letter:

  • Satellite A660-k17: can I remove the two primary partitions used for restoration?

    Hello
    I have 3 questions :) #.

    1. I burned a copy dvd recovery media, on a laptop A660 k17. There are two partitions on the disk that I think are there for the recovery. The first is 1.46 GB and it's for the recovery and another partition hidden 8.29 GB... and I think that the first contains the Recovery Wizard and the whole environment in which we will get through the repair of the system and the hidden disk contains the actuall with windows data, drivers and so on. Can I remove these two? I ask mainly on the first, if it is not necessary for the system to boot or something after that I have to recover the laptop to the factory setting.

    2 and I also want to leave my partitions so that I don't have to partition the whole drive from C 600 GB again. I have a D drive created but there is this response to a topic already in the forum http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=64754&tstart=90
    who says that when I leave the partitions I created myself, that the recovery will be not available. I have a copy on dvd, but only to make sure no kidding something upward.

    3. when I want a clean system without some software which are preloaded on the oem recovery disk... I have to use windows recovery? or it will be the same as the toshiba one?
    Thanks for the reply possible :)
    Beautiful day :)

    > Can I remove the two primary partitions used for restoration?
    First not, but you can remove the Toshiba recovery partition if you created the recovery DVDs. One day, if you want to install the recovery image once again you can use created the recovery disc.

    Actually, even if you get executables run again - you can be (read as "will be") better off the coast of a new facility.  Wipe and install media with your product key and other serial numbers and installation for other products media you own and restore your last recognized reliable backup for your files.
