How do I uninstall macafee, windows 8 with touch screen, can not find it on 'start' menu tiles

I was told I had to download adobe to look at a document, Macafee crawled with it. I have a laptop HP with Windows 8 and touchscreen. the closest thing I find a start menu is tiles, and there is no way to uninstall McAfee from this screen - it's not even a tile of macafee. But in any case I found the icon, if I click right, hold left click, or whatever it is, there is no option to uninstall

and I can't find "my computer".

Help! Thank you very much

Hello Elle3000,

On the start screen for Windows 8 If you just start typing control anywhere on the screen, you will find the control panel option appears in the results of research on the right of the screen.

On the desktop, if you right click on the Start button (windows low icon to the left of the screen), you should get a menu drop-down. You will find the Control Panel on this menu.

  • I installed Windows XP Home Edition. Can not find the wireless network drive

    I installed Windows XP Home Edition on my spare PC.  Now I have wireless network card in the computer and problems to find the drivers for it, and I don't know what brand it is, so I know it's kind of makes it harder too.  Then I also have to start the computer, but if I press F1, the computer starts well

    I was just wondering how can I get rid of this?

    Disable all devices that can connect to your router (wired or wireless)...

    • PCs
    • Laptops
    • Tablets
    • Smartphones
    • Smart TV
    • Printers
    • Networked storage
    • Another thing that I have not mentioned above!

    Put on your router and wait for the normal light distribution. Then turn on all devices.

    I hope that your ip address conflict went away. Generally ip conflicts can happen when the router is running again without doing the same with all devices later.

    If you have even an ip address conflict, it is possible that you forgot something above or can someone use your router without your knowledge.

    Your router's wireless network is secure? Ideally with WPA2 encryption?

  • Windows or any other program can not find cd/dvd drive.

    CD/dvd drive opens accepts the disc closes and nothing happens, if I select a program to read, he says no supported drive found. If I open my computer, the drive E is not indicated.

    Hello

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
    Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
    This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or
    slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
    ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    Hope these helps.

  • Windows XP on my laptop will not stop from the start menu.

    It goes to the screen that says Windows stops, but he never does.

    Hello

     
    1. do you get an error message/code?
    2. don't you make changes to the computer before the show?
    3. which antivirus program is installed on the computer?
     
    This problem can occur if a third-party program or application prevents the computer to shut down.
     
    I suggest for the link and follow the steps in the article:
     
    You cannot log off, restart or shut down your Windows XP-based computer
    -Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.
    -ATTENTION: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
     
    In addition, the link and follow the steps in advanced troubleshooting.
     
    Your computer stops responding when you try to shut down in Windows XP
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/313290#top
    -Note: When you perform the system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you have installed are removed.
    -Note: Changing the BIOS / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.
    -Note: Important: when running chkdsk on the drive hard if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data may be lost.

    I had the same problem and now works properly. That's what I did:

    1 position (BIOS) setting to IDE compatible mode

    2. install XPP as usual.

    3. install the drivers for the chipset Intel (sp46692)

    4. download and run softpaq for Intel Matrix Storage Manager (sp45106)

    5. go to the controller Start > Run > devmgmt.msc > IDE ATA/ATAPI

    > Port controller 5 series/3400 Series 6 Chipset

    6. set to update manually the folder c:\swsetup\sp45106, with option "have a disk.

    7. Select "PCHM SATA AHCI Controller 6 port".

    Windows says it is not compatible, but it will be restarted from the nest

    8 restart the computer, and set its mode controller SATA (BIOS)

    9 complete! Windows does not boot ok

    I hope you understand my instructions: English is not my mother tongue and may be poorly written. In any case, it worked for me.
