  • 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 this application.

    Be very careful the Maximizer/repair/registry maintenance programs external type. Very often, they will do more harm than good.

    Hello

    1 did you do changes on the computer before the show?

    2. which version of the operating system are you using?

     

    Follow method 1 if you are using Windows 7.

    Method 1:

    To remove the program, go to:

    Uninstall or change a program

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Uninstall-or-change-a-program.

     

    Method 2:

    All messages for the pc power speed may be also malicious content.

    If the problem persists, then I suggest you perform a virus scan.
    Analyze the computer to remove all possible malicious content.

    See the following site:

    Microsoft safety scanner

    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:

  • How to properly install shield so I can remove unused programs from my system?

    How I have difficulty or install the component 'install sheild' in my system so I can delete unwanted programs?

    Thank you for your answer to my question.  The software, I'm trying to delete is Illimina. The steps I am taking are; got to control panel, click Add/Remove programs and click on the program to remove.  Once I click on the program - it starts to boot and then stops.  Immediately after the stop, a message appears on the screen that reads, "engine InstallShield (ikernel.exe) could not be launched.  Without this interface supported. "  Let me add that I have not used this laptop since 2004.  I downloaded all the necessary updated and improved to explore 8 and still get the same results.  I hope that's enough detail, if it not is not please let me know.

    Thanks again for your response.

    Thanks for providing the information.

    I'm afraid I can't give you a specific patch.  Often, application uninstalling problems can be cured by the re-installation of the application and then uninstall.  In addition, InstallShield usually directs users having problems with the Publisher of the application are installed or uninstalled. I did not, however, any application, called "Illimina", and he could no longer exist.

    It's the advice given by InstallShield to treat the error message you received:http://consumerdocs.installshield.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=Q108521&sliceId=1 I suggest you on the 5 "troubleshooting steps" listed at the bottom of the document.

    If the update of iKernal does not work, see http://consumerdocs.installshield.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=Q108322&sliceId=1 unfortunately, this document assumes that you have the software installation program in order to determine which version of the InstallShield engine for download and reinstall.  You may be able to find an uninstaller or the installation with the version information file in the directory C:\Program Files\ for Illimina, but it's not likely.

    Finally, try to uninstall the application free Revo Uninstaller using - but your application may have been installed with technology that predates the information Revo includes how to use.

  • How can I uninstall unwanted programs that I have 65 in my list and they use 2.48 GB of storage?

    original title: PROGRAMS to UNINSTALL & FEATURES

    I've used this laptop (Windows Vista) about 500 hours in the 12-18 months (3 GB RAM & 320 GB HARD drive).  There are 65 PROGRAMS & FEATURES INSTALLED (for example, are 65 too in 12 to 18 months?) for a total of 2.48 GB.  Of the 65 programs & features, 15 were used "FREQUENTLY", three 3 were used "OCCASIONALLY" and all others, "RARELY."  The computer is Acer (c) and 244 GB free out of 286 GB.  The processor is 'Genuine Intel(r) CPU U2700 @ 1.30 GHz.  I would use this PC exclusively for WEB SURFING & YOU TUBE VIDEOS and especially of REARVIEW. TV (maybe there's another even better site for movies B & W '30 s, 40 s' & ' 50 s - I'm still doing research) to watch old Hollywood B & W movies.  I would appreciate any advice on what changes should I make of this laptop.
