  Does anyone know how I can remove this program that has no program folder, no registry keys, but still works? I can still print from this computer, but cannot access the HP Director (a function to scan, print, clean & align print head, etc.), which is what started this process of trying to uninstall/reinstall the program.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated...

  My system is;

  Dell Dimension 4550

  Windows XP Pro w/SP-3 (version 2002)

  Of photo TakerYN...

  This message can be considered "solved!" I was finally able to remove the program with the HP disk. I tried to reinstall (overwrite) the program, but I received a message that the installer has detected that the program is already installed. I wanted to try it manually, so I 'opened' the disc, you click on "setup" and received the same message. At this point, I was ready to try anything and noticed the "Launcher" icon and thought, what the heck, can't hurt to try at this stage, so I clicked it. I wasn't expecting the screen, I had, who said that it would be to uninstall the program. I thought it was too good to be true and easy way (after all), but after that it's over, I checked my Add/Remove programs and my 'problem' program was gone.

  Thought I would post this so anyone who might encounter the same problem can try this.

• How to uninstall Firefox if Add/Remove Programs does not work?

  My Firefox is completely insensitive. I can't get a browser or anything like that. I just caught the application folder and thrown in the trash, because add/remove program did nothing. Also, I can not download the latest version of Firefox. He tries, but then said: "your download was interrupted.

  How can I make sure that I have deleted ALL the old Firefox and what can I do to download a new?

  You can also download the complete file if loading from a flash drive (or do it in any case, as the stub Installer has problems on some systems).

• How to uninstall Windows XP Service Pack 2 when I can't find it in Add/Remove programs?

  I'm going to erase my computer before you donate. My computer is really old and the operating drive that I said it's for Windows XP with SP 1 Professional.

  I tried to reinstall with this CD, but he told me that the service current pack on the computer is newer than the one on the CD, so he couldn't reinstall. I figured out that the SP3 has been installed and uninstalled SP3 from Add/Remove programs box.
  Then, the computer is down to SP2. When I went to do the same with SP2, I can't find it in the add/remove menu. I see Windows Updates and a whole bunch of them, but none that said service pack 2.
  I went through a lot of pages talking using the term of order etc etc, but nothing works.
  Please let me know if there is another way I should try to re - install the original CD so that I can clear all of my computer.
  Thank you!

• Remove labview 2009 without using Add/Remove program

  Hi all

  I have problem with the removal of LabVIEW 2009.

  I deleted some folders in the C drive, folder OR.

  Now I can't start my LabVIEW 2009 and it does not appear in my Add/Remove Programs list.

  I tried to delete all the folders and files in the C drive under folder OR, but the pop out error message shows that I don't have the authority to do so.

  So, how can I remove it completely?

  I had intended to reinstall LabVIEW 2009 after that I have completely removed.

  Very much appreciate your help.

  That's why I say try to reinstall LabVIEW. He could just do a repair of your installation. Then, you can use Add/Remove programs to uninstall completely.

  But when you uninstall completely there will be folders OR remaining. These are things like user.lib.

  Have you tried to reinstall the runtime?

  One last thing. I don't know how you got your installation so messed up, but remember that if you build a Setup program you should not install on a system with the development environment. There are so many things that can go wrong.

• "Windows cannot display the control volume on the taskbar because the Volume control program has not been installed. To install it use Add/Remove programs in Control Panel. »

  missing volume control

  volume control was gone. I tried to go into my control panel to use it, but I get an error that says:

  "Windows cannot display the control volume on the taskbar because the Volume control program has not been installed. To install it use Add/Remove programs in Control Panel. »

  I have lost my Windows XP disc in a move and can't reinstall the file to a disk, how to fix this?

  When you use certain features sounds and Audio devices, you see a message like this:

  Windows cannot display the control of volume on the taskbar because the Volume control program has not been installed. To install it use Add/Remove programs in Control Panel.

  It seems that the c:\windows\system32\sndvol32.exe file is missing.

  This may occur if your antivirus/antimalware application thinks the file is suspicious and quarantines (effectively delete) the file.  You can replace the missing file with a backup copy of the file that is in another folder on your system.

  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..

  Assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive...

  We know that XP keeps copies of critical system files in the following folder:

  c:\Windows\System32\dllcache

  Using the Explorer, search for or navigate to the following folder:

  c:\Windows\System32\dllcache

  Locate the sndvol32.exe file, right-click, choose copy (it copies the file to the Windows Clipboard).

  If your Solution Explorer settings are not set to display file extensions, you will see only a file called 'sndvol32' which has an icon that looks like to the volume control slider (this is the file you need).

  If the file is missing in the dllcache folder, look for a copy of the file in this folder:

  c:\windows\ServicePackFiles\i386

  Browsing from a level in the following folder:

  c:\Windows\System32

  Right-click on an empty area in the window of c:\windows\system32 and choose Paste to paste in the missing file where it belongs.

  Answered in the affirmative if invited to replace the existing file.

  Now try your features sounds and Audio devices.

  Note that run sfc/scannow will not replace the missing file because it is not this that sfc/scannow does.

  Hi Kinamaygray,

  .NET frameWork is an integral part of many windows-based applications and provides common functionality for these applications to run. I suggest you do not uninstall the .net FrameWork, it may cause some programs not do not work. For more information on the .net FrameWork, you can check the link.
