  Yes - the uninstall process is controlled by the ininstaller provided with the third party program.  Windows doesn't do anything for you.  It simply allows third-party vendors use the register and place their uninstall information in such a place you see in Add / Remove programs to call their uninstall program.

  Use Revo Uninstaller.  Use the trial of the PRO version and make the most aggressive/careful option.

• This new facility, remove programs with add/remove program?

  I will upgrade to Windows 7 from Windows xp and need to do a clean install.  My question is can I remove all the programs with the Add/Remove program?

  Not necessary because by definition a 'Clean Install' will delete your previous system of operating Windows (XP in your case), all applications and personal data files (backup of your data files before you start the upgrade).

  After the upgrade to Windows 7, you must reinstall applications, so round up your software installation media and make sure you can find your software product keys.

• Add/Remove Programs does not work with some programs in XP

  Why add and remove program does NOT work on some programs. These are programs on a computer that was created using a process of the image. Like ghost?

  If you have a third party app that will not uninstall, I think I might check the support page for this application and see what they have to say about it.

  Some AV products have obtained quite complicated that add/remove programs is not the recommended way to remove them, so some companies have developed their own removal procedures and some have special programs to manage their affairs.

  Norton/Symantec has a special page for you:

  http://us.Norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docURL=20080416133836EN

  I see that just goes through Add/Remove programs too, but there is an option "what happens if it does not work" too (or post in the forums).

• 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.

• Successful marked KB2419632 update but do not show in Add/Remove programs

  Hi all

  I have Windows XP, SP3.

  This update (KB2419632) that successful shows in the history of Windows Update for January 13, 2011.

  However, he was not in the list of updates in Add or remove programs.

  I noticed only 2 weeks later (January 2011-27).

  I downloaded the update and he ran for office. It installed and is now listed in Add/Remove programs.

  I know I should ask questions first, but I found this forum later.

  It was the right thing to do? Should I keep or uninstall?

  I would do anything to this topic or next month updates will install as they always have?

  Never had any problems with the updates before.

  I also noticed the error Event ID 8 event with source crypt32 sometimes Viewer on 16 January and 27 January.

  Not sure if this is related to the issue of the update.

  Any help, tips are appreciated.

  Albenbell

  P.S. I have Norton Internet Security 2011 that I have updated since the 2010 version, about 3 weeks (8 January - 2011).

  Hi Albenbell,

  1. When did you start to question?

  2. you remember to make changes to the computer before this problem?

  3. do you have an antivirus/antispyware/security or other programs that are set to block it?

  Usually this will happen not unless if you make system changes that can remove the updates. However since you installed it again you can let him be here and no need to remove it. This problem won't happen with future updates and you can go ahead and install them.

  About event ID 8, you can consult the following KB articles and check.

  Crypt32 8 events reported continuously on Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, or Windows XP

• try to get "missing ___.msi" several times on different programs, when I browse to find and remove in Add/Remove Programs, it is not there.

  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.

• I can't add a component from the Add Remove program window as says could not initialize winxp

  I can't add a component from the Add Remove program window as says could not initialize winxp

  My victory is xp professional ver 2002 service pack 3

  It's usually easy to fix, but if you removed all the dll and inf files, you can have a bunch of other problems that you have not yet discovered.

  If you mean when you try to use Add/Remove Windows components you see a message like this:

  Install was not able to load the master file.
  The application could not be initialized.

  This happens because this file is missing:

  c:\windows\inf\sysoc.inf

  There is no copy backup of this file on your system and run the System File Checker will not replace the missing file (sorry, that Microsoft committed Support Engineer 'experts').

  You will need to get a real copy of your XP bootable installation CD or from a reliable source.

  There's a copy on my SkyDrive, you can download - here's how:

  I downloaded a copy of XP Pro SP3 file you need on my SkyDrive (everyone has a SkyDrive for file sharing).

  You can download it and when you do, put a copy of the file in this folder (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive):

  c:\Windows\Inf

  Here is the link to my SkyDrive and you can get the file you need here:

  https://SkyDrive.live.com/?CID=6a7e789cab1d6f39&ID=6A7E789CAB1D6F39! 311

  When you see the files available for download, you can not see the file extension (.exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc.), but when download you them they will have the right extension.

  When you download the file (especially if you use Internet Explorer), when you get a chance to save the file, your browser is unable to save the file with an extension (by example, .exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc) then you will need to manually add the extension appropriate to the file when you download the file before you save it.

  You can download the file without the extension, and then rename the file to add the appropriate extension.  You do not want to use a file named sysoc when the name of the file should really be called sysoc.inf (if the downloaded file has no extension, you will need to change the name of the file to add the appropriate extension to make it work.

  You must then copy and paste the downloaded folder appropriate on your system.

  Click on uninstall to highlight. Search this DWORD in the right pane:

  You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

  When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

  -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
  -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
  -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

  You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

  1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
  2. click on the System Restore tab.
  3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
  4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
  5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

  You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

  Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

  -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
  -Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
  -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
  -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
  -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
  -Click OK.
  -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
  -Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.
