    How to uninstall windows media center? It keeps opening up, and I can't open all the files, pls help...

    See - http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/15530/uninstall-disable-or-remove-windows-7-media-center/ - perhaps?

    But if she "continues to open and you cannot open all files" maybe something is seriously wrong somewhere else. If he goes much evil that is, no file opens, then when it started to happen? It has been recently? you got whatever it is installed again just before the problem occurred? If then possibly consider to delete that or try a "restore point" at one point, just before the error started.

  • I have 2 problems-how can I activate my Add ons and how to uninstall Windows Anti Virus. I need help, please.

    I have Windows XP 32-bit with IE8 Add ons.  I mainly use Firefox Mozilla for my browser and Yahoo as my home page.  Anyway, I have tried all the support and help guide and technicians told me to do to get add ons to open and activate but in vain.  This computer was given to me as a profession, and it was used in a Bank, so I think that the system administrator has disabled the add ons.  I myself as an administrator and use the tips and tricks given windows and Microsoft, but I always run up a wall.  I need help, please.
    I also need to know how to uninstall Windows antivirus software.  I can't find anywhere on my computer.  I feel really stupid and he is probably right in front of my face, but I can't find it to uninstall.  I have McAfee that I paid dearly for if I want to use it until it expires.

    This "Microsoft antivirus' witness (AKA Trojan W32/FakeAlert) hijackware infection!

    If you manage to somehow move to Win7, you will always have an infected computer.

    The ONLY way to solve the problem is by formatting the current hard drive and do a clean installation of Windows, whether it is WinXP or Win7.

    The ONLY way you can do a clean install of Windows XP if you have disks that came with the computer or if by chance, there is a hidden partition restore (not to be confused with the system restore).

    If your kids er - well & their spouses are going to spend money on a new HARD drive, they'be be better spend on a low-end Windows 7 computer and brand-new (for example, a netbook or a mini).

    NB: Any data on your Windows XP computer must be considered 100% reliable! (This includes all of your usernames and passwords, for example, those used for online banking, etc.) You do NOT want to put ALL the data from Windows XP to a new computer or HARD disk.

    Good luck, Grandma. Hope that your grandchildren will treat you better than their parents.

  • How to uninstall Windows XP PRO so that I can install Windows Pro 8.1?

    Problem? My Windows XP PRO is not listed in the control panel. (The system came with the new computer).

    I want to uninstall, & replace it with Windows 8.1 pro (disk).

    Is it done in safe mode? Also how a clean uninstallation is completed?

    MS says that an upgrade is not possible (since '23 programs, etc. need attention').

    All advice appreciated. Best regards, Doug

    Original title: how to uninstall Windows XP PRO, which is not listed in the control panel?

    Of course, it is not in the control panel. This isn't how it works. You must reformat and perform a new installation of Windows 8.

    Your computer will not be able to be upgraded. You must consult the computer manufacturer to see if there is even the disks available to this end for Windows 8. Probably not.

    And, even if all the drivers were available, you always have to reinstall ALL your programs and data on the medium of origin or files and backup of the date.

    How to uninstall windows vista or reformat the c drive?

    Hello

    You do not uninstall Vista as such.

    Vista cannot uninstall itself by Vista, formatting the drive that is installed on. In other words it cannot remove itself.

    You install another operating system, removal of Vista during the installation process of the other operating system...

    You don't say exactly what you are trying to do.

    You can format a disk if it a second drive with the Dual Boot operating systems and leaves without data or the operating system on it at all.

    We need more information.

    See you soon.

    How to uninstall windows 10 and reinstall windows 7

    I do not recommend coming back because I've seen too much to go wrong.
    Returning can be done only if you have installed in the past 30 days (if you created a new user, you should remove it before come back you)

    Back on the settings > update & security > Recovery > roll back to a previous operating system

    This will only work if the windows.old and 2 hidden folders ($Windows. ~ WS & Windows $. ~ BT) are still present.  If you do that you will need to re - install.
