Original title: Uninstalling questions
The problem is when I try to uninstall any program I get a pop up message saying "Please wait until the current program is finished uninstalling" or that did not uninstall or change a program for months! Any ideas would be appreciated
Hi Martin,
This error message is related to the windows service installed on the computer.
Before you begin to solve the problem, I recommend to restart the computer and verify if you are able to run the program.
If the problem persists, I suggest you follow the provided methods to solve the problem.
Method 1
Unregister Windows Installer and then reregister Windows Installer. To do this, follow these steps:
(a) click on Start Menu
(b) type msiexec /unreg , and then press ENTER.
(c) click on Start Menu
(d) type msiexec/regserver , and then press ENTER.
Method 2
If the previous step fails, check if it has all the facilities waiting on the computer using the registry.
Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, see the link below.
Back up the registry
For Vista: Back up the registry:
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/back-up-the-registry
Empty registry key "in progress"
Check the following registry key:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\InProgress
Empty/rename "PendingFileRenameOperations" registry key
Check the following registry key:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\PendingFileRenameOperations
Hope this helps; Please get back to us with the results.

Original title: 2 numbers do not know if they are related
I have 2 questions and I don't know if they are related. Several days ago I was doing some cleaning and uninstalling programs to free up space. I don't know what I started with, but it seemed to go ok. However, after all that I've tried to uninstall gave me the message: Please wait until the current program has finished uninstalling or one. I rebooted the computer more than once during this period, but it still says that.
Then my internet explore has stopped working just for 2 or 3 days. I've been using google chrome to access things, but it is rather slow.I ran repeated virus and malware scans my norton security and the microsoft Web site, and all said I am clean.Yes, it's windows 7 I appreciate the suggestions, but the problem was that he wouldn't LET me not uninstall anything. He gave me the waiting message please do anything, and he's not missing if I stopped and restarted. Finally, I gave up. I saved my files to my external hardrive and just do a full recovery of the computer. He solved the problem of installed programs and the internet problem explore both, although I hoped it would avoid going that drastic.

I have the same problem. I don't know what to do and I tried to check what other people wrote on online. I think, because another program tries udate and he has a problem, it's the reason why. The message I get between the two is the following:
"A program cannot display a message on your desktop.
Under Details of the program, it says:
Program (s) or device (s) that requires attention.
Message title: Nokia_Multimedia_Common_Components_2_5-InstallShield Wizard
Program path: C:\Windows\system32\MsiExec.exeThis problem occurs due to partial incompatibility with windows.
Can anyone help?
For any manual uninstall to succeed, you will need to manually remove all items remaining program where they occur, whether in the registry or in Windows.
Maybe you could try a third-party uninstall program if Windows cannot do it for you.
Take a look at some of the free third-party uninstallers part such as 'Revo' that exists in the market.

I get this error message (see title) when I try to remove existing applications or to install new applications. I upgraded this Compaq CQ50z-100 of Vista Home Basic in a 2 step process:
Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade
Windows 7 Professional upgrade
Once I had upgraded to Home Premium, I started to get this message. Thinking that I can fix by the Win 7 Pro update, I proceeded with the upgrade (success, no problem). However, the problem persists. I tried to perform a "clean boot" and then "Normal Startup - load all the drivers of devices and services" and I still get this error.
Need advice on what to do to solve this problem... short recovery in the image of Vista Home Basic original recorded via Norton Ghost 15... :(
Thank you Andre,
Since posting this thread, I found a solution. The solution was to reset Windows Installer (1 to off, and then back to the manual) using the console of the computer/manage. I edited the setting Windows Installer via "Services and Applications view (tab 'Standard' of Services). First round of "Disabled" to "Manual", restarted and all then it 'Manual' and rebooted one last time.
In a note, my issue was with Norton Ghost 15. I had installed on the original view of Vista Home Basic, but found I could not it starts successfully after the 2-step 7 upgrade Premium. Remove failed. I've finally finished the removal after completing a full installation of Ghost 15 new (seemed to have lost some registry key values/entries).

Hello
Every time that connect us to servers of TS farm, the profile of the user load for a long time and she stays with a message "Please wait for the user profile service" for longer than 5-6 minutes. We work in two areas which is configured as "an endorsement of forest transitive way." The domain (domain A) with TS farms hence connect us a cross forest profile disabled so we cannot load the roaming profile in this area, whereas another domain (domain B) roaming profile user's roaming profile.
Also in the directory the Active directory of the domain B, TS/RDS settings is enabled for the problematic profile.
TS / RDS--> roaming profile path and TS home folder is configured. TS/RDS settings is configured because we use other farms of machines/TS citrix other than the one in which there is problem.
When disable us TS/RDS of the directory settings active directory domain B, then it is extracted to improvement in time. But we're in a situation were we cannot disable TS/RDS settings as we use other Citrix machines also. So we tried configuration GPO in A TS domain as
Which allows to "allow only the local user profile".
Allowing 'profiles itinerant Prevent password propagation to the server.
This allows to "Allow asynchronous user group policy processing when you connect via Terminal Server Services"
But still, there is no improvement in the time taken by the server to connect. What is the adjustment to make in the field of A TS, such that he will not try to charge the roaming of the B domain user profile, even if TS/RDS settings for the user profile are configured?

Please wait while the document is being prepared for reading
I just upgraded to Acrobat Pro DC. I now get the following on some of my documents error message: "Please wait while the document is being prepared for reading". For a large document, it takes a desperately long time to read all the pages. And the message appears whenever I open it.
I tried to get help from a support technique cat last night. I was told that I could go back to the latest version of Acrobat Pro. It is a sad reflection on the company.
I really don't like something on the DC, but I know that most of the problems will be fixed within the time with updates.
Thanks for any help,
Todd Daniel

'Please wait until that the current program is finished uninstalling or change'
Im trying to uninstall a program and when I click on uninstall it says: "Please wait unti the current program is finshed uninsatlling or that" it says always that what I'm doing.
Hello
This question has been answered here:
I think you should try:
#1 restart your system and try again.
#2 check that the software is not running in the background.
#3 try a 3rd party uninstaller but be careful because you don't have much control over how a 3rd party uninstaller effectively uninstalls - sometimes they leave "debris" that can affect future use.
Kind regards

Windows Media Player cannot burn the files. If the burner is busy, wait until the current task is complete. If necessary, check that the burner is connected properly and that you have installed the latest device driver. ???
I just burn a CD with no problem at all. Using the same type of CD, brand new, I tried to burn another CD and got this error message:
Windows Media Player cannot burn the files. If the burner is busy, wait until the current task is complete. If necessary, check that the burner is connected properly and that you have installed the latest device driver.
I close all programs running, restarted my computer, changed on the devices tab, the speed of burning... everything I know to do and all the things I've read in these forums, no luck... still get the exact same message. No idea why my CD-writer has decided to stop working for me?

Original title: Lexmark printer
Hello
Thank you for helping me to get my laptop working again - after contacting the Microsoft Community, Microsoft and my ISP, my email seems to work so I can get all my incoming messages.
But I'm still having a problem printing. I tried to uninstall the Lexmark S605 and I get the message error "series Lexmark S600 is currently in use. Wait until the printer has finished printing and then uninstall. "I get this message even if the printer is turned off and unplugged.
Before I tried to uninstall, I tried to update the drivers from the Lexmark site and it says the update was successful, but nothing prints. Printer is no longer supported by Lexmark. Wireless connects, but I have also tried to make it work using the USB connection.
Printer print wireless from office, but not my laptop.
Does anyone have an idea on how to uninstall the Lexmark program?
Thank you
