  • 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).

  • How to uninstall Firefox if Add/Remove Programs does not work?

    My Firefox is completely insensitive. I can't get a browser or anything like that. I just caught the application folder and thrown in the trash, because add/remove program did nothing. Also, I can not download the latest version of Firefox. He tries, but then said: "your download was interrupted.

    How can I make sure that I have deleted ALL the old Firefox and what can I do to download a new?

    You can also download the complete file if loading from a flash drive (or do it in any case, as the stub Installer has problems on some systems).

  • Add/Remove program does not

    When I bring up Add/Remove Programs, I have two entries that correspond to the two programs that are no longer on my drive.  When I click on the Add/Remove button, nothing going on other than the refreshing window.  When I try to use the Windows Installer Cleanup utility, I'm not either of the programs in the list.  I think (it's been awhile now and I didn't keep any notes) that they have been installed from Visual Basic 2008 Special Edition.  While this does not seem to hurt, it's annoying because I want to test the installation and am constantly adding and removing programs. b

    After some research on the registry, I discovered that both programs in question did not appear in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\current\Uninstall that fills the Add/Remove list, but in \HKEY_USERS\\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall (and same string to HKEY_CURRENT_USER...)  I guess that everything that I have to do is delete the two entries here, but I have not yet tried.  I suspect, but do not yet know, it's the solution to my problem.

  • Add/Remove Programs does not locate all my programs installed after the replacement of hard disk

    I recently had to replace the hard drive of my laptop.  We have cloned the original on the new hard drive.  The programs are all visible in Windows Explorer in the directory program files.  However, they are in the utility "Add/Remove Programs".  I can't open the program in exe files.  I am told by the manufacturer of software, in one case, I need to uninstall the program and reinstall it.  I can't uninstall it without the Add/Remove utility (or can I?)  Thanks for your comments

  • Add or remove programs will not fill

    In Control Panel, click Add/Remove programs. Nothing, just white.

    Add/Remove Programs does not - start > run > regsvr32 appwiz.cpl [Enter]

    If it works, you are finished. Otherwise:

    By Ramesh MVP, one of the most frequent causes for Add/Remove programs being blank is that a recent installation/uninstallation routine may have deleted the contents of the registry key of any 'uninstall' here:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

    Each subkey stores the display name, UninstallString information related to the program you have installed. Open Regedit.exe and navigate to the above key. Check if the "Uninstall" key is empty (contains no subkeys). In this case, your best best is to restore the system state by using System Restore. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • Size of the program in XP'ss Add/Remove Programs too much for Agere Systems HDA Modem - 6.4 GB!

    Add/Remove program on HP515 XP sp3 laptop reported the size of the Agere Systems HDA Modem as being program
    3,582.00 MB (3.5 GB) you want to assume this is a mistake, because the driver was last updated was 2006 and Agere was acquired by LSI. However - this computer he'd have removed the ThinkPoint (via AVG2011 anti-virus) virus with
    no trace, if the elements of the manual removal in the registry, so AVG you all this?

    So I tried to remove the program, which needs software modem dialup? and disable it in Device Manager

    After having removed via Add/Remove programs when you restart it himself reinstalled w / no prompts
    After you uninstall the device, same manager except that now it is said the size of the program is 6 437,00 Mo!

    Will be not deleted or disabled after reboot. Next step is to open up the laptop and see if the modem can itself be without shearing of the Board of Directors, if that will not trigger the re - install software
    Can find no other reference to this problem anywhere, hope it's just a will and
    the GB are not counted against the count of HD space.

    Hello korgri,

    It seems that you still have a problem with remmants of the virus that you had deleted. I'll try again with other anti-virus or scanning software to see if there is still a problem.
    You must disable AVG before using a 2nd antivirus. You can download Microsoft Security Essentials. Clickhere for a link to the Microsoft Antivirus.

    I also suggest an Inplace upgrade which will help you to repair your operating system. You will need a CD/DVD of the XP operating system.
    Click on the KB article number below to view the instructions for an Inplace upgrade.

    After the upgrade on the spot, your personal data and installed programs will not be deleted, but we will have to run Windows Update to install all the updates that are available for your system to update these files system to the current version. This troubleshooting process is very long and can last several hours.

  • Windows live essentials found in the Add/Remove program

    Hi guys,.

    My windows live messenger has stopped working suddenly... it was fine 2 days ago. So I decided to re - install windows live essentials. Unfortunately, it still does not, and things became worse. I heard forums have offered to install an older version and let windows update to the latest version.

    I tried to remove them again in Add/Remove program. but they aren't there. The problem is that when I want to install an older version, it says I have a newer version. and when I want to delete the most recent version. I can't find it anywhere...

    help needed ASAP!

    Thank you

  • Add/Remove programs

    Add/Remove programs will not remove some programs, so, how can I remove them safetly?

    Most of the programs of Apple Inc. will not update, because of the old software cannot be removed.

    Quote: An older version of Apple Software Update Guy can be deleted. And the same is true with Hello and several other Apple programs. I just bought an i - Pod Touch 32 GB 4th generation and want to use al fetures that come with it have iTunes can offer.

    Question number two; my computer was built by my nephew, who has done a great job, and I have a valid copy that Windos XP Pro 64-bit Edition installed on the computer, the problem is that it does not provide me the dics that he used to install all programs for Windows XP Pro 64-bit Edition. Is there a way I can get a copy? And yes I already ask my nephew and he's more about them. I want to srcub the hard disk and then reinstall! So every thing can work as new, as this should also take care of question number 1. There are other programs that I can not delete by using Add or remove programs.

    For your iTunes problem...

    This message occurs when the registry key pointing to iTunes uninstaller is corrupted (or uninstall of iTunes has been moved or deleted).  The simplest thing to do is just clean things, and then try again.

    Used to have a tool just to do this, called the Windows Installer Microsoft Cleanup utility.  Apparently, however, when this tool has been used (I think with MS Office), removes sometimes more he was supposed to, and that's why Microsoft has removed the tool of its download servers.

    The Windows Installer Cleanup utility is always available from http://majorgeeks.com/Windows_Installer_CleanUp_Utility_d4459.html , or you can use the free Revo Uninstaller.  Before using or the other of these tools, create a restore point from the system, backup the registry with C:\WINDOWS\ERUNT, or (if you can afford) creates a full disk image or a clone - just in case.

    Here are the usual directions to perform a "clean installation" of iTunes, based on Support of Apple HT1926 article.

    Go to control panel > Add/Remove programs
    Remove these applications:
    1 Apple Software Update
    2. Apple Mobile Device Support
    3 Hello
    4 iPod for Windows (this may or may not exist, be it, it is not necessary, then we can remove it)
    5 iTunes
    6 QuickTime

    Open my computer > C: > Program Files
    Delete this files (if present)
    1 iPod
    2 iTunes
    3 QuickTime

    Empty your temp directory:
    Open my computer > C: > Documents & Settings > username > Local Settings and delete the contents of the folder called "Temp".

    If you don't see the local settings, enable hidden files:
    Tools > Folder Options > view tab
    Select Show Hidden Files & folder, and then click OK

    Once this file is empty, restart the computer

    [See note above regarding cleanup utility]
    Download & install the Windows Installer Cleanup utility:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/290301/
    Launch the utility: start > programs > Windows Installer Clean Up
    Select one of the applications mentioned above and click on remove

    Restart the computer
    Download & reinstall iTunes from here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

    Question number two; my computer was built by my nephew, who has done a great job, and I have a valid copy that Windos XP Pro 64-bit Edition installed on the computer, the problem is that it does not provide me the dics that he used to install all programs for Windows XP Pro 64-bit Edition. Is there a way I can get a copy? And yes I already ask my nephew and he's more about them. I want to srcub the hard disk and then reinstall!

    You will need to buy another copy of XP 64 if that's what you want.  Because Microsoft stopped selling Windows XP quite while ago - and XP 64 was never that popular anyway - it may be difficult to find and expensive.  Here is one (last one left) on Amazon for $90: http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Windows-System-Builders-Version/dp/B000JTBX08/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1322966638&sr=8-2
