How to uninstall Windows Photo Gallery or Windows Live Photo Gallery

I have both programs on my computer laptop Vista Home premium. The space is essential and I need to get rid of one of them - I would rather uninstall WPG. However, I failed to find a way to do it. The program does not appear in Control Panel and I searched for an answer without success so far. Can anyone help please.

Hello

While no program takes up a lot in terms of space, there are limits. Windows Photo Gallery is a native component of Vista, there is no option to uninstall. You use either it, or you don't. Windows Live Photo Gallery is a component of the suite of live software and must appear in the control panel of configuration/programs and features for removal.

If space is at a premium, there are better solutions:

(a) get a drive bigger and transfer the installation. It's the best solution because it definitely eliminates the real problem.

(b) not to store the data files on the hard drive, use a flash drive or external.

(c) reduce the amount of space allocated to system restore (default is 15%) with the VSS command utility. Good luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Crazy" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com Windows help - www.rickrogers.org

How can I clean uninstall live essentials so everything is reinstalled again?

    Hello godsdragon,

    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

    It shows that you have a corruption in your file system.
    Run the System File Checker:

    Click Start
    Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD
    Click on "Run as Administrator"
    At the command prompt, type: sfc/scannow

    This will check for any violation of the integrity and repair any damaged operating system files.

    Restart your system

    Then try again and download and install Windows Installer Cleanup Tool. Click here to download the utility.
    You can use the utility to remove installation information for programs that were installed by using Windows Installer. Remember that Windows Installer CleanUp Utility does not remove the actual program from your computer. However, it will remove the installation files so that you can start the installation, upgrade, or uninstall on.

    If this does not work uninstall, reinstall the program and then try to uninstall again. Usually, this will help to eliminate all aspects of the programs.

    I hope this helps.

  • How to uninstall Windows Live Messenger in Windows 7

    I need to uninstall Messenger. When I installed MSN and clicking 'custom installation' I hope I have the opportunity to choose, but they DO you have messenger. WHY?

    I disabled the 'sign' page in and in 'options', but again, the window opens and connect automatically when I log in MSN.  This is a nusance, why they just assume you want to converse. I never do.

    Help, please. From what I can tell from these forums (I've not seen one for Windows 7), it must be hard to do, and the first thing usually does not work. Could you please be patient with me to help me get rid of this?

    Thank you very much.

  • How to uninstall windows media center?

    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.
