Program in the usual XP remove using Add / Remove programs

I have a program on XP, I installed years ago and have since removed it but remains in Add/Remove Programs list. All the program files have been deleted, but yet. I don't have the disc for the program and it doesn't "seem" be the source of the problems, it's more embarrassing than anything else.

Visit the software manufacturer's Web site and see if they have a removal tool for their software.  In many cases, a software company is aware of the problems of this kind because of complaints from their users.  This leads sometimes to write a little routine to remove all traces of their software in the Add/Remove does not complete the use of 100%.  If they have not done that, you can find instructions on their website for the registry keys remove gradually.

  • "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.

  • 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.

    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.

  • How add/edit/remove UI Components (i.e. not text values) in a UIContainer according to the XML data by using mxml.

    Hi all

    Asked me to make a request to monitor a remote and data devices are accessed through XMLSocket, devices of remote system could be added/removed during execution. and the user Web interface must act accotdingly. What is the best way to approach to apply it? is it by using the mxml or action script? I've already implemented using mxml and may display devices in the Web for addiotion/deleting/editing dynamics of devices and its properties, I am looking for your input/suggestion.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Anthony,.

    Set unique name to each of the UIComponents added to the container (default stage)

    by using the name property of the components , you can get the object from the container to aid

    container.getChildByName ("name assigned to the property") , this function will return as DisplayObject

    The DisplayObject instance to the target conversion type for the class that you can Edit the object.

    example:

    var sp:Sprite = myContainer.getChildByName ("one") as Sprite;   Here I am reference sprite with the name "a" to "myContainer".

    SP.x = SP.x + 10;  Here I am to change the property 'x' of the Sprite whose name is 'a '.

    Note: Similarly, you can perform any operation on the sprite

    Removal of UIComponent:

    removeChild will serve to remove the child from the container where it is added

    container. removeChild (container.getChildByName ("assigned to the property name"));

  • Print file stuck in the coil, the message "unable to copy the name of the file: it is used by another person or program".

    Recently, I tried to capture a job by a break of a print queue, print work and copy the files from the spool (under C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\PRINTERS) before unpausing the queue. However, when I try to copy the files, I get the error message "unable to copy the name of the file: it is used by another person or program". I tried several times with the same result. The only way to get the file off the ground is obviously t reactivate the print queue and they will quickly deteleted shortly after. Is there a way I can recover these files? Assume the change the port in 'File' to make a copy of file is on the table. I ran this in the title of administrator user rights.

    The file you are trying to "capture" you will do some good.  However, if you want to watch or copy it, first stop the print spooler.  Open the Services applet (start > run > services.msc > OK).  Scroll down to "Print spooler" and click "Stop".  Don't forget to restart the print spooler after you copy the file or you will not be able to print.

    If you want to print to a file rather than on paper, there are at least three ways to do it (not counting "Print to a file").

    Using the "Print to file" box will produce a *.prn file.  It contains commands specific to the printer; It cannot be opened by the usual word processor applications; It can be used to print to the printer selected in the print dialog box or printer that uses the same commands to the printer.  For example, you have a printer installed on 1 computer but you have physically moved the printer to computer 2, where it is now installed.  You can check the "Print to file" on the computer 1, save the file to a flash drive *.prn, carry it to computer 2 and then print it out by copying the file to the printer (in a command prompt window).

    1. the best way, IMO, is to print to a PDF using free CutePDF Writer.

    2. you can create a "generic, only the text" printer and select this option when you print.  This produces a *.txt file.  To install the generic/text printer only, follow these steps:

    1. Click the Start button, point to settings, and then click Printers.
    2. Double-click the add printer icon.
    3. Click the next button.
    4. When you are prompted "How is this printer attached to your computer? Click the local printer option button, and then click Next.
    5. In the manufacturers box, click Generic. In the Printers box, click generic/text only, and then click Next.
    6. In the available Ports box, click FILE, and then click Next.
    7. When you are prompted "do you want that your Windows-based programs to use this printer as the default printer?" click the no option button, and then click Next.
    8. When you are guests "would you like to print a test page?" click the no option button, and then click the Finish button.

    3. use the Microsoft XPS Document Writer, which may already be installed on your computer.  "XPS" was Microsoft's attempt to compete with Adobe PDF.  He did not.  Unfortunately, the only way to view a document produced by the XPS Document Writer is using the Microsoft XPS Viewer.

    edit, escaped mod < s > in order to avoid the line through question

    A web page can be defined a "accesskey" for an item. Unlike IE/Chrome/Safari, who use the Alt key only, Firefox requires pressing Alt and Shift to activate the element. In other words, try

    ALT + SHIFT + S

    and see if it works.

    Hi Rugger,

    Welcome to the community Microsoft and thanks for posting the question.

    This issue could be happen if system files have been corrupted or any third party application conflicts.

    I would suggest trying the following methods and check if it helps.

    Method 1:

    I suggest you perform a SFC Scan and check if it helps.

    Steps to perform a scan SFC:

    a. click Start, click principally made programs, Accessories, and open the command prompt.

    b. type the following command and press ENTER:

    sfc/scannow

    [The command sfc /scannow. analysis of all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.]

    Once the scan is finished, close the command prompt window, restart the computer and check.

    Reference: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833

    Method 2:

    I suggest you perform a clean boot and check if it helps.

    Clean boot will check if any third-party application is causing the problem, as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
