How to remove an icon on your desktop if you have already uninstalled the program?
Compaq PC CQ5110F
Windows Vista Edition Home Premium
Hello
If the icon won't delete in the normal way, try the following.
Shut down the PC. Tap away at f8 that you start the PC to enter the Windows Recovery Console. Use the arrow keys to select Safe mode and press ENTER. When it is loaded, if you still see the icon, try right click and delete now. Click on restart and Windows will restart normally.
Kind regards

I have already uninstall the Prototype but... the tile in the Apps directory still exist under the games... I want to delete manually... Please help me...
You can reinstall the program, and then maybe you can uninstall correctly, via programs and features?
Programs folder delete The Program Files is not recommended as it leaves pieces in the registry and in other places.
If you cannot reinstall, or after any reinstallation successful, you cannot uninstall, then post back with you receive the exact error message.

In order to install a new version of the Anti trend anti-virus software, I have to make sure that another program is completely uninstalled. The trend stops when if is the program still in 'services. How can I remove it?
Out of curiosity, what would the other program that does not properly uninstall?
If it were other software AV (McAfee, Norton, Symantec, NOD32, Avira, Avast, etc.), many of them require their own special to make them correctly and completely uninstalled uninstall tool/program. If you do not uninstall program, you will end up with pieces of the old program left on your system. Just by using Add/Remove programs no longer cuts on some of these things. These uninstaller programs are generally on the Support page for the AV program, you need to uninstall.
In any case (what 3.5%?), here's a good guide that explains how to remove a Service from your system.
http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/how-to-delete-a-Windows-service-in-Vista-or-XP/I would manually create a System Restore Point before making any changes in case something goes wrong and you need to back off the adjustment.

I followed the installation, then at the end when the picture came on the screen an error message came on the screen: "a later version of the Webcam Live software is already installed, to reinstall the Webcam Live software, you must first uninstall the software of Webcam Live from your computer."

How do I uninstall the program "Utilities" since the Satellite A210
How can I uninstall the program "Utilities" since the Satellite A210. In Control Panel I can uninstall the program "Value Package" but not "utilities".
With the A210 I can't work with the FN keys and on a German Toshiba support website I found this information:
http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB0402UR0000R01DE.htmSo I'll try this installation sequence:
-Chipset utility
-Display driver
-Toshiba value added package V1.2.40
-Technical support utility Flash Cards for Satellite L500 (see this thread, why I want to do):
http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=46135&TSTART=7
-V1.0.25.5C Toshiba-Utilities
and no doubt
-Installation of V2.00.09 equipmentI hope that the FN keys will work after this installation sequence.
