How to uninstall a program that is not in the category 'Programs' from the Panel control?

The program I'm trying to uninstall is a game called 'Purble Place' and it was already installed in my computer. I want to uninstall it because it seems to me a bit too childish and not very interesting. I tried to find it in the control panel in the category 'Programs', but it was not and I could not find a solution in the internet, even not in the "help and Support Program". Does anyone know how to uninstall the game (and maybe installed programs that are not listed in "Uninstall programs")?

Hello, James R, P

It would be prudent to remove entries from the registry and the values for Purble Place. It doesn't hurt also to them to leave because they don't refer to any program since you already have you have already uninstalled the software.

I hope this helps answer your question.

Thank you

  • How to uninstall printer driver that is not installed on the computer

    Original title: my "unknown device" is a printer I own is no longer!

    To solve the problem "code 28", I have to re - install the driver for HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 - but the printer is no longer installed, and in fact I is even more has the printer.  The HP printer appears on the screen "devices and printers", but when I click on the yellow triangle on my laptop device, it brings me to the unidentified printer and the hardware - MF\Officejet_Pro_8500_A910 & WSD & IP_PRINT ID.  How can I uninstall a printer that is not installed, or how can I update the driver on a printer that is not installed.

    Thanks for reminding me about MalwareBytes and SuperAntiSpyware.  I used MalwareBytes a few years ago to kill a particularly tenacious virus that prevented me from my virus program execution.  I ran the two--identified only 4 files MalwareBytes and removed and SuperAntiSpyware found 286 tracking cookies - I zapped them.

    Now, the best news of all...

    Child of a friend's House of the college - he won grants and national contest for his expertise in computers/software diagnosis and repairs as a sophomore in high school.  He stopped on the way back to decipher problems with computers on the local school district and spent every three minutes solving my problem.  I don't really know what he was doing - he did so quickly - but he said to send you the link and you will understand it better than I could explain it.

    The yellow warning triangle disappeared, and the unidentified printer is no longer there.

    I want to thank all those who contributed to this thread - your persistence and patience has been remarkable.  I learned a lot from the experience even if I was not able to completely solve the problem.  I congratulate you all.

  • How to map an address that is not in the address book

    Is it possible that I can map an address that is not in the address book?

    All the methods that I can find the card application to Invoke either take latitude and longitude, or they take an object of Contacts in the address book.

    I have just an address I'd like to see for me.

    I guess I can use google maps instead, but would rather not.

    Thank you

    You can create a contact with your address object and pass it to BlackBerry Maps.  The contact didn't need to be stored in the address book.

  • How to uninstall a program in Add/Remove programs which does not list the option "Change/Remove.

    > I'm trying to uninstall and reinstall my HP printer.

    > In my Add/Remove Programs list, there are several HP programs listed and I started to remove them (has done this in the past with no problems).

    None of this has worked.

    > Gave a link to a family member to Support MS - "How to manually remove programs from the Add/Remove tool" I followed these instructions and

    Does anyone know how I can remove this program that has no program folder, no registry keys, but still works? I can still print from this computer, but cannot access the HP Director (a function to scan, print, clean & align print head, etc.), which is what started this process of trying to uninstall/reinstall the program.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated...

    My system is;

    Dell Dimension 4550

    Windows XP Pro w/SP-3 (version 2002)

    Of photo TakerYN...

    This message can be considered "solved!" I was finally able to remove the program with the HP disk. I tried to reinstall (overwrite) the program, but I received a message that the installer has detected that the program is already installed. I wanted to try it manually, so I 'opened' the disc, you click on "setup" and received the same message. At this point, I was ready to try anything and noticed the "Launcher" icon and thought, what the heck, can't hurt to try at this stage, so I clicked it. I wasn't expecting the screen, I had, who said that it would be to uninstall the program. I thought it was too good to be true and easy way (after all), but after that it's over, I checked my Add/Remove programs and my 'problem' program was gone.

    Thought I would post this so anyone who might encounter the same problem can try this.

    How to uninstall security programs I don't have, I have more than one and do not know which to use.  they clean too many files when uninstalled

    Hello jillmarsden,

    It is not recommended to have multiple Antivirus or firewall installed at the same time because they can cause conflicts as PaulAuckNZ said. However, instead of remove antivirus in programs and features, you must go to the Antivirus website and use the removal tool which is produced by the manufacturer of the antivirus program.

    Microsoft has a free Antivirus called Microsoft Security Essentials. It provides protection for your PC in real time at home that protects against software viruses, spyware and other malicious software. It is simple to install, easy to use and always up-to-date with protection.
    You can download from the link below:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/securevista

    Be very careful on the acceptance of direct assistance to another user. If this user suggests that he use Remote Assistance to help you, be aware that it will have access to your computer and that your computer could be hacked.

    Please let us know if you have any other questions.

  • How to uninstall windows xp, it is not in my add and remove programs

    I got a new hard drive put in my computer 4 years ago, it runs really bad now the guy installed xp professional, I can't do a system restore, I want to uninstall xp and install again but it is not in my Add Remove programs so I don't know how to uninstall it, can anyone help?

    The only way to "Uninstall" an operating system is to delete or format the partition on which it is installed.

    After saving all the data you want to keep, simply boot from the Windows XP installation CD.  You will be offered the possibility to delete, create, and format partitions as part of the installation process. (You may need to rearrange the order of the boot devices in the PC BIOS to boot from the CD.)

  • How can I stop mail that is NOT marked as spam to be sent to my Junk folder?

    How can I stop mail that is NOT marked as spam to be sent to my Junk folder? In some cases, it's the messages that were once reported as junk that I scored is NOT undesirable. in other cases, it's the messages that have never been reported as spam, but are sent to the junk e-mail folder. Same recipients over and over.

    I'm running OS X 10.11.3

    I can't find a way to mark a message in my junk as e-mail folder as not junk.  Some versions of Mac OS x there is there a way to mark a message as "not junk".  Every once in a while I find valid messages hidden in my Junk folder.  There is no indication in the help on how to mark them "not junk" (usually help isn't much help!).  I see that no one has replied to your message, Nix-649.  Google talks about it, but nothing is very recent.

    You do not have.  Cannot install iOS Apps devices from anywhere, but the App store.   If it is not in the App Store, the app is very probably not designed for iOS and would not be able to be run in any case.
