  Hi Renee-me,

  I recommend that you do not uninstall the updates that are installed on your computer.

  Windows Update makes the secure PC and helps run smoothly.

  For more information, refer to this link: Windows Update

  We suggest to delete the Windows updates only in troubleshooting an issue that may have been caused by an update. Refer to KB 310312 for more information on how to use the disk cleanup to free up space on the hard disk.

  Hope the helps of information.

• I'm unable to open ' add or remove programs "-after previuosly deletion of multiple applications.

  I downloaded free TV and after a few seconds I started to receive several pop ups.  So I went into 'Add oir remove programs' and tried to delete only whatt I added indicating by date.  Now, I can not enter in «Add or remove prgrams.»  I get an error message indicating that I have no file required to open this file.

  Apparently, I removed something I shouldn't.

  Help, please.

  First of all, you can not rely or guardianship what add / remove programs tells you about the dates, time, last used, etc..

  For example, I use my MS Office every day, but the ARP says that it is rarely used and last used on 2010-10-10.

  Such things would work correctly if the installation programs would put enough correct information in the registry during the installation of applications, but most are not.  Even applications like MS Office Microsoft isn't much good.  Do not pay attention to this information.

  If you get an error message, you must validate exactly what the said error, think what ARP file is missing and tell us more about your system.

  What is your system brand and model?

  What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

  You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

  What you see you don't think you need to see?

  If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

  If the safety of MS Scanner could remove some data, I would not use it.  Why would you use something that might make you lose data?  I find it quite helpless though.

  If sfc/scannow solves your problem, I'll send you or your charitable organization preferred $100 Americans.

  You will not run sfc/scannow successfully anyway unless you have a XP installation CD authentic which corresponds to your Service Pack installation (most people don't).  The technical support engineers always seem to leave out this little nugget of information.

  While you wait, I want to this instead:

  Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:
  Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
  SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
  They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

  I can't find the xps Viewer or an xps printer to add and remove programs and do a right click Delete says access denied when I try to remove it features and the location of the printer.  It seems that other things are missing in Add and remove programs feature tool - is there a way to repopulate it?

Where to go to in the pc to do this? Is there a microsoft site that would download a new one and replace it? I know it is recommended to use the Add - Remove the tool but I can't when the item is not listed. It's a 64 bit Dell Inspiron 1545 Again-I need to find where I can delete the thing. Any new idea on how I could get permissions greeted = I opened the xps document, but it won't let me follow the steps to get the permissions - a sort of certificate. The thing also has a list of drivers and a port of xps and pilot xps I saw only once and could not remove - he said that it was in use? What is the name of the xps driver in Device Manager? I don't see listed xps driver. I think that the best thing would be to delete this device and all it's components of my computer. It is the misfortune.

• How can I remove a duplicate 'Add or remove programs"icon in the control panel?

  Whenever I open the Control Panel on my computer, I see two icons "Add or Remove Programs". How can I fix this problem?

  Some of what you see in the Panel comes from Control Panel Extension files found in the folder c:\windows\system32 (assuming that XP is installed on your C drive).  If you look at our you will find some there. CPL files and those who do a lot of what you see in the Panel.

  The applet Add / Remove programs you see displayed in the Panel appears because there is a file there called:

  appwiz.cpl

  If you go to c:\windows\system32 and copy the appwiz.cpl file and call the copy something like jose.cpl then go to control panel, you will see so two addition / deletion of programs listed (and they both work).  Non believers, try it.

  If you see two copies of add or remove programs in Control Panel, both work?

  I don't know what your problem is exactly or how it got that way, but if you use the Windows Explorer and browse to c:\windows\system32 folder, and then click search for .cpl, you will get a list of all the .cpl in this folder files (and maybe also see copies of backup in the dllcache folder).

  Click the size column heading to sort the. CPL files by size, then look for appwiz.cpl in the list and then look for another. CPL file above or below that has the same size and date than the appwiz.cpl file and see what the name of this file is (as jose.cpl).  If there is another file that is the same size and date than the appwiz.cpl, that's your problem.

  If you find it will not know what it is, you can just rename the suspicious file to something ending with an extension .cpl (like jose.xxx) and see what things look like.  If things get worse, just rename the file, the original name and seek some other idea-ers.

  If you find the file that resembles appwiz.cpl and don't know what it is, tell us what you see and that someone can help you to understand.

  Hi DadVQ,

  ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

  This problem occurs because of a missing or corrupted Rundll32.exe file. This problem can also be caused by a virus.

  Follow the suggestions below for a possible solution:

  Method 1: Follow the steps mentioned in the article below and check if the problem still persists.

  Cannot find the Rundll32.exe file when you open Control Panel

  Method 2: If the problem persists, I also suggest that you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

  The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

• What is"safe" to remove in my add and remove programs?

  What is 'safe' to remove in my add and remove programs?

  As the "Show updates" box is NOT checked, pretty much everything shown in Add / Remove programs other than "Windows Service Pack 3" is safe to delete.

  If you'll be glad later is another story.

  If you don't know what a given application, you can either Google it or ask here and someone will probably be able to tell you what it is and if it is likely that any other thing depends on the application.  For example, it is 'safe' remove the different versions of Microsoft .NET Framework, but this would almost certainly result in another application no longer able to function.

• Windows Defender for add or remove programs in the taskbar, but...

  When you attempt to add or remove programs in the task bar , I get the message to turn on Windows Defender. However, I use Microsoft Security Essentials and I was told that MSE takes over and won't allow WD run. In addition, I don't see choice through MSE for add or remove programs in the taskbar. All solutions?

  I was trying to prevent a program from appearing in my taskbar. What do I need to uninstall to get there? In addition, I want to have MSE appear on the taskbar, and it isn't currently. I guess I'm trying to disable a startup program...

  RE: trying to prevent a program from appearing in my taskbar
  Can you not a RIGHT click on the program icon that is on the taskbar > click "unpin this program from the taskbar?

  RE: MSE appears in the taskbar
  Create a MSE shortcut on your desktop > drag the shortcut to the taskbar

  No, what you wrote, you don't want to disable anything of the program startup list.
  If you do, please give me the name of the program.
