Now that the utility install cleanup is no longer available, what are my options to uninstall a program that cannot be uninstalled using the standard method?
I have three programs which cannot be uninstalled using the standard method (Control Panel > Add / Remove Programs); they are Adobe Reader 9.3.4, update of Java 6 and Java 6 update 24. What are my options for removing these programs from my system? I did a search on the internet and all the answers say to use the standard method, or they point to the Microsoft Installer Cleanup (msicuu2.exe) utility. I found sites that claim to have the software available for download, but I am wary of loading the software of a site, that I don't know.

Revo Uninstaller (free): http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html
The MS Installer Cleanup Utility is available at http://majorgeeks.com/Windows_Installer_CleanUp_Utility_d4459.html , that it is a safe to download site from. Based on warnings from Microsoft on the cleanup utility, however, you might well advised to make a backup disk image or at least a backup of the registry before using it. C:\WINDOWS\ERUNT is an easy to use free registry backup tool.

Yet once, now that Adobe's Flash problems are everywhere the news what are my options to display the content on the sites that were previously used by Adobe Flash? I uninstalled Adobe Flash, but need an alternative. Thank you!!!
Mozilla had 'soft-blocked' version 18.0.0.203 and earlier, which still allowed you will activate Flash on websites of that trust.
If you are not accustomed to using the "Request to activate" feature with any of your plugins, here's what to expect:
When you visit a site that wants to use the Flash, you should see a notification in the address bar icon and one of the following: a link in a black rectangle in the page or an information bar slides between the toolbar and in the page area.
If you see a good reason to use Flash, and the site looks trustworthy, you can go ahead and click on the Lego-like icon in the address bar to allow Flash.
But some pages use Flash only for tracking or play ads, so if you do not see an immediate need for Flash, feel free to ignore the notification. It will just sit there in case you later want.
Until this ordeal of previously unknown security flaws shakes, you might want to try this and see how it fits. To set the Flash "Ask to activate", after you have reinstalled it, open the page modules using either:
- CTRL + SHIFT + a
- "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons
In the left column, click on Plugins. Search 'Shockwave Flash' and always change 'enable' to 'ask to activate '.

I have a HP with Windows Vista Premium installed. I got a CD with a file that has the extension .mdb. What are my options to open and view this file? There is a second file on the disk with an extension .ldb. What kind of file is it?
Second, the recommendations that you offer for pc virus protection? My coverage of Trend Micro systems allows access to the Explorer after I disable add ons... while I am limited with respect to the capabilities of the computer.
Thank you!
.Mdb and .ldb file extensions are used by the Microsoft Access database program. .mdb is a .ldb file is a lock file. You may be able to consult the data base with Access runtime, downloadable here:

My husband hates version 4 so what are my options when the support went to the old version?
My husband hates the new tabs in version 4 and had me reload the old version. What are my options for using Firefox, after that support is gone? I don't want to use Internet Explorer. Someone at - it an alternative?
"My husband hates the new tabs in version 4...".
Don't like the "tabs on top"? You can change this to display the tabs below the toolbars, for example, one of the following:
- Using the Firefox button: click on the Firefox button > Options, click on "Tabs at the top" to remove the check mark (checked = on, unchecked = off)
- Using the Menu bar: click on view > toolbars, click "Tabs at the top" to remove the check mark
- Hold DOWN the ALT key while pressing keyboard letters ATV (removes / places the checkbox for "Tabs at the top" without having to open a dialog box)
"What are my options for using Firefox, after support is gone?"
Firefox 3.6 is likely to be supported for some time. In general, supported by Mozilla continues for 6 months after the introduction of a new version, but Firefox 3.5 is still supported beyond this 'General' rule of 6 months.
NOTE: There are other changes that can be made to Firefox 4 to make it look and behave more like Firefox 3.6. See:
- Appearance. See the first section (up to the breaker line, Articles 1-4) of my answer in this post: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/805743
- Save and exit legs. See my response in this post: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/808488

My installion of XP no longer after infection by the virus of Security Center. Without really thinking about it, I decided to do a repair and released my xp disc. It righ through circulated by car and began, which, in my view, was to install a new, not a repair. obtained point of asking the code from the sticker on the computer, I realized that the code provided for an OEM installation not for the disc I inserted and and a code is not generated. I decided to try and install an upgrade to windows 7 that I had on place and needless to say who won, what are my options? and please, do not buy a new install or "linux lol."OEM product keys will usually be active even if you use a retail disk to install XP. Simply skip entering product key when prompted and activate later.

After careful consideration, today I decided to join Adobe Photoshop CC only to find out that it is not available to me that my laptop has Windows Vista. What are my options other than having to buy a new computer or an older version like Ps5 or 6?
1 can't read on a Windows "upgrade version" which, in my experience, does NOT require you to format your drive... updated on what you have, without disturbing programs installed... at least that's what happened the ONLY time wherever I installed an upgrade version, so I can't give a 100% guarantee that it will work with your computer in this way... search link for all the things Microsoft http://search.microsoft.com/search.aspx?mkt=en-US&setlang=en-US
2 - depending on the hardware you have, you may not be able to run programs CC well, or not at all
3 CS6 is 3 years and is the ONLY non - CC version always sold... unless you can find a "legal" somewhere CS5
