Impossible to uninstall Skype - Invalid driver J and come error 1603
Hello
I searched the web for the multitude of error message I get when I try to download the latest version of Skype 5.0. The main problem is to uninstall the old one - which I can't even do it manually. I tried to run in safe mode and start windows installer, but nothing works.

Impossible to uninstall Skype so that I can upgrade to the new version
Hello
I can't uninstall my Skype. It seems that the Skype.msi file is missing.
I get this Windows Installer message "the installed product does not match the installation source" the message continues to ask for a source to find the file.
I don't know what to do
It is perhaps important to the solution:
My version of Skype:
According to the help-> about Skype, my version is 6.11.0.102.
When I try to uninstall Skype on "Programs and features" of windows, the version of Skype is 6.10.

So, I wanted to update to the latest version of Skype, but every time I press the update now and he says: I can not install it because a version of Skype is already installed. So I went to add/remove a program, and it showed no Skype. First I went online and tried to find a solution, but none of them worked, so I asked my friend and he said that he had the same problem, but he managed to update Skype. He said he deleted all the files and it worked, so I tried it. He said again I can not install the new version and it does not appear in my programs, the files are not in my recycling bin, I can't cancel delete and now I can't use Skype at all. If someone could try to help me would be great, I use my Skype to communicate with people who have purchased my GFX art and I need to talk to them so that they don't think I'm scamming them.

I have a HP Deskjet 3050 J611which a printer prints perfectly wireless or if the software is not installed, although it won't scan without software. When I install the software, it does not work. When I try to uninstall the software I get a 2081883395 error, and it will not erase the software. I managed to download a software that did delete and I reinstalled, have the same problem, but can't find the software to remove the HP software. I tried to install HP disc and download. What is a 208 error? How can I remove this software? And how to install the software without this error (maybe it can work)? Thank you.

Shared folders is disconnected and impossible to reconnect to the drive already in use error letter
I have a XP Pro SP3 with all the recommended updates installed as of 10/02/2011 that sporadically will lose connections to all shared folders on the domain controller Server 2003 SP2. The actions will connect and be accessible on initial login/start, but after an indeterminate amount of time all drives mapped on the 2 k 3 server disconnects themselves. Actions that are located on a Samba server are always accessible and only this one workstation is having issues. I also made sure that there is no other disk, physical or mapped, which have the same letters assigned on this workstation. Another thing I noticed is that it seems that to do so for a particular user who is an administrator. All users of all types seem to be able to work without any problems.
