Impossible to uninstall programs

Hello!

I am running Vista Home Premium. When I try to remove programs in the control panel of configuration/programs and features, I get sometimes refused.

The latest versions of the programs that I have tried to remove are Volo View 3 and Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor, (which I installed today only)! The messages I get are: "Windows Installer - the system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation." (Then click the OK button), then the message: "updates installed - you don't have enough access to uninstall Autodesk Volo View 3. Please contact your system administrator. (Then on the OK button).

I m the system administrator. I got the PC since new and I'm the only one "user". I put the maximum permissions in the tabs of security for the programs that I am trying to delete, but nothing helps! However, cannot access 'special permissions '. If I can't access as an administrator, which is the point where it is there? This must be a Vista thing!
Advice would be appreciated

Best regards

Peter

    You can uninstall a program from your computer if you no longer use, or if you want to free up space on your hard drive. You can use the programs and features to uninstall programs or to change the configuration of the program by adding or removing certain options.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/uninstall-or-change-a-program

    1. Open programs and features by clicking on the button start , by clicking on the Control Panel, click programs, and then click programs and features.

    2. Select a program and then click on uninstall. Some programs include the ability to modify or repair the program in addition to uninstall. but many simply offer the option uninstall. To change a program, click on change or repair. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  • Impossible to uninstall programs in Control Panel

    I'm in the Control Panel, try to uninstall programs. There are several programs that I can't uninstall. When highlighting these programs do not give me the button uninstall or the buttons change or repair. They show the name of the program and the size of the program. They take place on my hard drive and I do not use them. Even when I go to remove the icon, it opens a window which says removing the icon, it is not uninstall the program. How is it, I can't uninstall these programs?

  • Impossible to uninstall programs using the control panel

    I am trying to remove several programs using Control Panel - Add or remove programs.  I get the following error

    An error occurred trying to uninstall [program name].  It may have already been uninstalled.

    Windows then gives an option to remove the program from the directory.  I did hope that he would then remove the program itself, but not luck.  The program is still listed under the start menu, all programs and runs correctly if clicked.

    Any help to understand why the Panel think that the program is uninstalled when it's not would be very useful, as would a work-by-turn.

    Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

    Ideas:

    • You have problems with programs
    • Error messages
    • Recent changes to your computer
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem

    You could try to locate the individual uninstall each program feature. The names of these vary from one software to another manufacturer, but they are usually in the directory of the software program. If there is a specific application uninstall routine, it is often indicated by an UNINSTALL. LNK sortcut. If you follow this path, go to the program folder, then right click on the shortcut and run as administratoruninstall application.

    To avoid just uninstall, you can try to locate any program that is associated with the program to be uninstalled, and ensure that it is not running in the background or as a service. Choose Start, MSCONFIG, tab Start to see most of the programs that run auto-magiquement on the computer starts. Common examples would include Office and Adobe programs Quick launch that preloading some components of the program.

    You can also try a third party uninstall program that takes a more aggressive approah to the whole uninstall process. VS Revo Group is a free utility to do this.

    Revo Uninstaller (free)
    http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html

    Like a lot of freeware, there is a 'Professional' ($) version that makes even more rigorous procedures, but the free version does a pretty good job.

  • Impossible to uninstall program distributed CVI2010

    Hello

    I ran into a problem with the installation CVI2010 files distributed. I can't uninstall the previously installed program using the Control Panel Add/Remove software tool. The software installed is on the list, but when trying to uninstall anything happens.

    I am attaching the file error.log I get using msiexec /x /lv command. I previously installed software in the same way that I try to uninstall.

    I use the same configuration file for the parameters of the distribution that I did for the previous version of the CVI. Uninstall worked properly during this period.

    Download and install Revo Uninstaller from the link below.

    Run revo and use it to uninstall the software.  Make a right click on the program icon you want to remove and select uninstall.  Initially, this will launch the applications own routine that may still fail, but simply to continue Uninstall.  During the process, that you may be asked to remove the registry entries, simply select all and then click on remove.  Do the same for any left over files and folders.  Once the uninstall is complete, reboot the PC.

  • Firefox tab disappeared, have mysearchdial. No program of mysearchdial in installed programs impossible to uninstall. no way to manage add-ons with or without tab firefox orange

    Could not find a way to get rid of mysearchdial. no tab orange browser firefox so can't get to manage no Add ons and any program mysearchdial in the installed programs in Control Panel, so it is impossible to uninstall.

    tried to change the home page but no matter what I do, mysearch dial remains there. went to mysearchdial web page, followed their instructions, no use. Tried to run malwarebytes anti-malware and it has not seen anything like that. my browser opens really slow. The Microsoft Security Essentials is not helping either. I tried booting from the ERD, start did not find any problem. the search on my computer for mysearchdial or something unknown shows nothing. ran put utilities at the point in the registry, found nothing.

    What should I try next? Thank you very much.

    Hello

    The easiest way is probably to make a Reset of Firefox. This will return Firefox to its default settings. Your personal data (bookmarks, history, etc.) will be saved, but you will have to reinstall all your addons.

    Firefox - modules to reset and refresh settings

    If you don't arrive in the Firefox Orange menu to do the reset and then close Firefox and then hold down the SHIFT key while you open it. This will bring up a menu that gives you the ability to reset Firefox.

    The problem is that (as you've identified) there is a chance that Firefox will get hijacked again if you are unable to remove malware from your computer.

    You can try these free programs to search for malicious software that work with your existing anti-virus software:

    I also suggest looking at the list of programs for starting and turning off one you don't want to or don't recognize. All that is originally from the diversion of mysearchdial is likely to be listed in the startup list, because he wants to run as soon as the computer starts.

    I hope this helps. Let me know if not.

  • Photosmart c4795: impossible to FIND MY PRINTER UNINSTALL PROGRAM

    I want to uninstall and reinstall my printer, but it is not in my uninstall programs. What is HP Photo creations, HP Support Solutions Framework and HP update. It appears in my devices and printers with a yellow triangle next to her. When I installed it with the cd, something went wrong, because I do not have the Toolbox or the window that tells me how much ink is left. Troubleshooting said I don't have the complete solution software and downloaded it but it didn't work so I want to try to uninstall and reinstall, but like I said my printer is not displayed to uninstall. I am running Windows 7 64 bit. I also installed Revo uninstaller and it has not posted there either.  Any help will be appreciated.

    I figured out I was going to click where it says install the software and then I could click on printer. Thank you very much.
