How can I delete Skype and get instant onMy computer back. Win XP SP3

I tried to remove Windows Live Essentials to try to remove the latest version of Skype.

He's not goodbye when I chose to remove in the control panel.  You have andy ideas?

Hello Possum3201,

Microsoft are taking his retirement from Windows Messenger. He was replaced with Skype. Even if uninstall you Skype and re-installed one copy of Messenger, you would get the reminder screens, which suggests that you update your copy of Skype Messenger. Finally you will also find that Microsoft would create an automatic update for Skype for everyone using Messenger.

I don't understand why Skype will not uninstall from Add/Remove unless you actually upgraded from messenger. TI live maybe a case of having to uninstall all apps windows before it can actually uninstall Skype on its own. However, this is purely speculation on my part as I have not personally tried to uninstall Skype me. Have you also tried to uninstall in safe mode? Keep pressing the F8 key as your PC starts and then, when a menu appears, select Safe Mode.

It seems that Skype is something that we all have to get used to. personally, I'm not this desire

    Hi Debbie,.

    Once that the photos were allowed, they cannot be removed or not allowed.

    Thus, you must make sure that the image you need for your projects. You can also check the size of the images before their approval.

  • How can I delete music and data from iPad to iCloud I am out of space on iPad?

    How can I move music and books to iCloud (do not save, but move), as I have only 0.5 on iPad and 4.6 GB of 5 GB on iCloud?

    iCloud is not a storage space for media. If you delete these items in your device, then they will go into iTunes in the cloud, and you will see a small symbol of cloud beside them. But you will have to re - download access. If you need to free up space on your device, go to settings > general > storage & use iCloud and then click Manage Storage under the first section (storage). You will then see a list of everything on the device that is being established. See if you can import photos or videos on a computer or remove applications.

    See you soon,.

  • How can I delete megabackup and mackeeper to my iMac?

    I found MacKeeper, MegaBackup, and Justcloud on my new iMac and I don't need them, how to remove?

    Software to uninstall the program: the basics

    Most OS X applications are completely independent "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the trash.  Applications can create preferences files that are stored in the folder/Home/Library/Preferences /.  Although they do nothing once you remove the associated application, they take up little space.  If you want you can find them in the location above and delete them, too.

    Some applications may install an uninstall program that can be used to remove the application.  In some cases, the uninstall program may be part of the installation of the application program and is called by clicking on a custom button that will appear during the installation process.

    Some applications can install components in the Home/Library/Application Support / folder.  You can also check here to check if the application has created a folder.  You can also delete the folder that is located in the application Support folder.  Once again, they do nothing but take up disk space, once the application is trashed.

    Some applications may install a startupitem, or Item Log In.  StartupItems are usually installed in the folder/Library/StartupItems/and less often in the folder/Home/Library/StartupItems /.  Journal items are defined in the preferences accounts.  Open system preferences, click accounts, and then click the login items tab.  Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to remove from the list.

    Some software uses demons start or agents which are a new feature of the operating system.  Look for them in/library/LaunchAgents/Library/LaunchDaemons/or in/Home/Library/LaunchAgents /.

    If an application installs all the other files that the best way to find them is to search for Finder using the name of the application or the name of developer as a search term.  Unfortunately, Spotlight look in certain default folders.  You can change the behavior of Spotlight or use a third-party, EasyFindsearch utility, instead.

    Some applications install a reception in the folder/library/receipts /.  Usually with the same name as the program or the developer.  The element typically has an extension ".pkg".  Do not forget that you also remove this element because some programs use to determine if it is already installed.

    There are a lot of utilities that can uninstall applications.  Here is a selection:

    1. AppZapper

    2. AppDelete

    3. PLC

    4. Hazel

    5. AppCleaner

    6. CleanApp

    7. iTrash

    8. amnesia

    9. uninstall program

    10. spring cleaning

    For more information, visit The FAQ XLab and read the FAQ on the removal of the software.

  • In the first 11 elements how can I delete projects and partners and folders files?

    How to delete projects and associated files and folders once I'm done with the first elements 11 project. Information is available for first Elements 7, but not for 11

    It is very easy, if you follow the tips in my books: create a new folder for your project file each time that you start a new project. If you do this, delete all associated files is as simple as delete the folder!

    It's not like you have done this, however. Therefore, you must manually track down files PREL and Adobe Premiere elements Auto-Save files and preview the files and delete them. And, if by "associated files you also hear the media files, you will need find and remove them manually also.»

    Meanwhile, use the method in my books for your future projects, and clearing out old projects will be just a click or two away!

    Remove you the same way as you would from your hard drive. Insert the select flash player, open Explorer Windows, flash player, select the file you want to delete and either right click on it and then in the menu drop-down, click Delete or press Delete on your keyboard simply. You will be asked to confirm that you want to delete the file before be deleted to the trash.

  • Firefox has suddenly started to open a new tab when I update an existing tab. How can I prevent this and get Firefox to not do that?

    Without explanation Firefox now opens a new tab when I try to update an existing one. Worse still, I have to click on the new tab to get the Update window. This happened after I downloaded the last download nightly (64-bit). Hope someone out there can let me know how to solve this problem, because it will force me to another browser if I can't solve it.

    Thanks for the suggestions ideato and co - el.

    I found a blog that hits suggested ' subject: config "in the address bar and then change"browser.link.open - external"3-to-1. It worked, but then some links do not open in a new window when they were supposed to. So I changed the value back to 3 and restarted the computer. Everything works now so don't know what the real problem was.
