Accidental uninstall without knowing the name of the program
I accidentally uninstalled a program. I am not at all computer savy, but as soon as I saw it uninstall I wanted to hit Cancel but it was not an option. I was a bit panicked and embarrassed to say that I have no idea of what was the name of the program. I only know that he was talking about the photo editor. How can I find out what it was and how I reinstall it?
Hello

When you uninstall a program, the program shortcut (lnk) can not be removed
Yes, I have windows 7, and it's a little corrupt (maybe)
and if I want to remove programs always displays a message ' the shortcut cannot be removed [application_name] .lnk manually remove "(example: the shortcut cannot not removed iTunes.lnk delete manually) and not only to iTunes, other software too. Google earth, firefox and more. so I thought whats wrong with my windows 7?
my windows 7 already cured by the virus, and abnormal activity arises.
example: what firefox installation, a pop-up appears: "cannot continue the error code [code]" and I tried to run as administrator, firefox has been installed successfully.
and disappear from the image (animation windows 7) and old bar of start (like windows XP) appears.
who is wrong?
I think my computer is virus-free. There is no problem in the connection, games, etc.
EDIT: my computer is completely virus-free.

I use Outlook Express Version 6. I have a list of names in my blocked senders list I want to remove. I remove them. Then when I close my e-mail program, the names reappear in my blocked senders list. Is there a bug in this e-mail program that does not allow me to remove a few names from my blocked senders list? I don't want to mess around with the registry key. Does anyone else have this problem? Has anyone been able to remove some names from your list of blocked senders?
If they come back, it's a damaged registry key, but it is not very difficult to fix.
1. close OE, then in Regedit, navigate to this key:
| - HKEY_CURRENT_USER
| - Identities
|-{GUID}
| - Software
| - Microsoft
| - Outlook Express
|--------------------5.0where GUID is the Global Unique identifier for your identity.
2. under this key, you will find the following between subkeys
others:| - Block senders
|-----------------------Rules
| - SignaturesSelect the senders to block key and delete it. Publishers will be empty, but you can rebuild now.
You can also create a new identity and import all of your messages and address book. The new identity will empty a list of blocked senders, but IMO, the registry key is much easier.

Hi Ernest Harasym,.

Uninstall, change or repair options will appear according to the design of the program. I suggest to select different programs and check if you get the options.

After that I turned on my computer, I get this error message... "Windows cannot find C:\Program Files (x 86) \Search Extensions\Client.exe make sure you typed the name correctly and try again."
It all started October 1, 2014, and I have no idea why.
I asked windows assistance online, and he said he had something to do with my registry.
But then there just stop communicating and did not tell me how to solve this problem.Y at - it a registry repair tool?
Also it does not affect my computer that I can tell.
But I have a problem in which windows cannot detect.
In the printers and devices window, the icon of my computer has a triangle with an exclamation mark inside error.
Maybe someone out there not and I'd appreciate any help.
Hey, mark
First have you properly uninstalled this program? He was executed at startup of Windows an incorrect uninstall may cause this error may still be registered in MSConfig to start automatically with the computer.
Did you go to the address specified in Program Files (86) \Search Extensions to see if the file is present or not?
With a mark of exclamtion in the middle of a yellow triangle indicates that drivers must be updated.
Right-click on the device with the triangle, select Properties, go to the Hardware tab, select the device with a triangle next to it, select Properties again and select Update driver.
This should solve the problem, if Windows Update can't find a driver for you, you can always go to the manufacturers website and download it there, however, if the Windows Update does not find it there ' has a chance to the manufacturers Web site may not it as well, in this case, you can open Device Manager right-click the missing material or using outdated drivers, select Properties, go to the Details tab and in the hardware id select menu drop-down property search with id, you receive information about the device and so download the drivers the most up-to-date and appropriate from other reliable sources.
Thank you

Original title: ((Vista)) I can't install anything!
So, basically, I have a Windows Vista. I'm using Google Chrome, but that doesn't really count because I tried on all browsers. When I try to download something, it comes up with something like that... "Windows cannot find"C:\Users\User\Downloads\ ((name of the program here))". Make sure you typed the name correctly and try again. "This has nothing to do with a name of typing correctly. I'm downloading at the wrong place? If Yes, where can I download it?

Using Player Adobe 11, now comes up with an error, once the file is opened. "Invalid Plugin detected, will waive the software Adobe reader." Close the program so cannot display PDF files. Running windows 7. I uninstalled and reinstalled the same Adobe. Help
It seems that something has been added in the folder on the drive. I would recommend http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.htmluninstalling the program, running, removing any left over parts of the record player (this could be the problem), reboot and reinstall. If all goes well, that solved the problem. Future questions about the player, you should consider asking in the forum of reader, is not.
