  • Impossible to uninstall windows 10 tech preview

    My son installed the technical preview Windows 10 on my PC and now I am unable to uninstall or to revert to Windows 7. I have the 3 recovery DVDs I created when I got the PC, but even if they are appearing on my records they do not autorun.  I tried to access the start menu by rebooting - no luck. The recovery option only restores to a fresh 10 Windows.

    Hi Mick,

    You are welcome

    Install Windows from what is essentially a retail disk is usually less problematic than with recovery media, so I hope that there is no slack - just post back if there is.

  • Impossible to uninstall Windows SteadyState or the opening of session "another user"...

    Hello, I recently tried Windows SteadyState to keep my PC to get banged by my nephew and my brother not so savvy in computer and download _ not knowing the source or if it has malware attached. in any case it was too complicated for me to understand, itself tried to uninstall it, it is not in the programs; used Revo Uninstaller, even deleted the files of the register... but it's ALWAYS THERE! I also tried to remove additional users added to the logon screen, to no avail... Any ideas?

    I am happy that we managed to get rid of these two files.  I installed SteadyState just to see what would happen and I also have another user on my login screen if it is not listed in the user accounts and so it cannot be deleted anyway, I know.  As long as it requires a name and a password (so not just anyone can get in), then I would probably just that it is--that's what I'll do (at least for now).  It is causing no harm and is secure.  You are probably right that SteadyState doesn't has not been uninstalled completely - perhaps reinstall it and uninstallling this new will do the trick.

    Alternatively, you can try posting in the SteadyState Forum: http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowssteadystate/threads to see if they have any ideas or suggestions.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

    The error I get is "unable to access the network 4.0 location. "Please make sure your network connection is working correctly and restart Setup to continue.

    2. Select and delete the following entry:

  • uninstall Windows live essentials

    I am on Windows 7 with a 64-bit laptop DV7. I have problems with Windows Live Mail, because when I click on the Inbox, sent. deleted etc, nothing happens. The only way I can get to my mail is to use 'Find' or to go to my Plusnet account. This is a nuisance. I have been informed through groups of Microsoft users that the best way to overcome this problem is to uninstall windows Live Essentials and instructions on how to do are on the Microsoft Web site. However, when I try I can't bring up the windows that would allow me to do. (see "how to remove and reinstall Windows Live Rssentials - I can't past 3 and" can't not "Uninstall") Could it be because there is a slight modification to the Hp software please, and if so someone can tell me how I can uninstall and then reinstall. Otherwise, it seems now that I'll have to go through the pain of complete recovery to try to resolve the problem. For any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated. GordonW

  • How to uninstall Windows live essentials so when I try to reinstall all of them appear as the installation options?

    I'm using IE8 and windows live essentials. I tried to uninstall windows live essentials and it was no problem. When I downloaded the game to reinstall again had the options to reinstall one of them with the exception of one who was not installed. 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.
