Problems uninstallng unwanted programs

I have Win XP, service pack 3 and need to free up space, but almost all of my foreign programs won't uninstall when I go through the normal process of installation/uninstallation. Is it normal to have both that will not uninstall, or is it a Windows problem?

Thanks for the information.

  • 6520: problem starting c:\Program HP HP Photosmart 6520 series\bin\HPStatusBL.dll

    I uninstalled the HP 6520; didn't uninstall errors. [do not remember if I uninstalled with a 6520 uninstall exe or if I did it with Windows 10 uninstall programs.]  Now, every time I start my PC, I get an Error Message window indicating "there was a problem starting c:\Program HP HP Photosmart 6520 series\bin\HPStatusBL.dll the specified module could not be found."

    I have a Photosmart C7250 which is attached to my router via LAN as a network printer and works as it should.

    I would like to get rid of the Photosmart missing dll error, but, not at the expense of ruining the c7250.

    The 6520 file is missing, the 6520 has been correctly removed from devices and printers.  Why my PC is still trying to load a dll missing at startup after that the 6520 6520 was supposed to be uninstalled?

    How can I fix the error starting 6520 without spoiling the C7250?

    Hi @PineSap,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I see from your HP Officejet 6520 uninstalling you now this error message ' there was a problem starting C:\program HP HP Deskjet 1510 series\bin\HPStatusBL.dll .

    " The specified module could not be found ' at startup.

    After some research, I was able to find this solution on Forums, see below:

    For Windows 10 publication RunDLL error (HPStatusBL.dll) check this site:

    (Activate prior the hidden files and folders)

    C:\Users\(your user name) \AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

    (Maybe depending on who has installed the software, see other users if you do not do so in your profile)

    Remove the shortcut that HP does not decently cleanup during uninstall:

    Monitor alerts of ink - HP xxxxxxxxxx -Source

    I hope that this helps, please let me know the results. I'll watch for your reply.

    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.

    You can use an application that scans your system for the log files and temporary files and use it to get rid of those who:

  • removing an unwanted program

    I tried to remove an unwanted program from my computer, nothing helps. When I try to remove it, I get the message, there is no, so we can't delete. But the program pretty still shows on my list of programs and the space you need on my computer. Every other time when I removed a program, the program has been removed and unlisted. Why is this program still on the list, and it seems that it is still on my computer? The program is PC Maximizer, one of these PC repair operations. What every opinion continues? Is this "thing" still in my system? If this is not the case, why is it always appear on my lists of programs? Thank you.

  • Try opening Windows Defender me gives error code: 0x800106ba - a problem caused this program service stop. Help, please.

    Hi all

    I am a newbie with doozy a bit of a problem:

    Services of Windows Defender on my local computer no longer works.  The message I get is:

    «Windows Defender encountered an error: 0x800106ba.» A problem caused this program service stop.  To start the service, restart your computer or search help and Support to find out how to start a service manually. »

    I restarted my computer nothing works.

    I followed the advice from another thread in the following way: go to the control panel > click on Administrative Tools > Services > Windows Defender properties > change initially > press on apply.  It seemed that he would work until the following message appeared:

    "The Windows Defender service on Local computer started and then stopped.  Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs. »

    Any help, help, clarity on this issue...?

    Thank you very much! :]

    This problem can occur because another security application is used or the Windows Defender service has stopped, or components of Windows Defender are corrupt.

    You install any new programs recently? Windows Defender is not designed to protect against the extent of malware. If programs like Microsoft Security Essentials or AVG 9 and Windows Defender both run, your system may experience degradation in performance and other problems caused by the conflict of two services providing real-time protection at the same time. I recommend that you keep the Defender off if another application of security protection is running. These security software stop windows Defender work properly in order to prevent conflicts.

    If no similar security application is installed, I suggest that we have follow these steps to resolve the problem:

    Step 1: Check the Windows Defender service
    =================================
    1. click on start, in the search box, type: "services.msc" (without the quotes) and press ENTER. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    2. double-click on the service "Windows Defender".
    3. click on the 'general' tab. Make sure the "Startup Type" is "automatic". Click on apply. Then please click on "Start" under "Status of Service" to start the service.

    If the problem is not resolved, please refer to step 2:

    Step 2: Save the associated DLL files
    ========================
    1. click on start, type "cmd" (without the quotes) in the box start the search. Right click on CMD listed above and click 'run as administrator '.

    2. in the command prompt, type the following and press ENTER to each order:

    regsvr32 atl.dll

    regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\wuapi.dll
    regsvr32 softpub.dll
    regsvr32 mssip32.dll

    3. close the command prompt, and then run Windows Defender.
