• Uninstall cs4 without causing problems with cs5

  I have both CS4 and CS5 installed on my laptop.  I want to free up space on my hard drive uninstalling CS4.  I want to assure you that I don't have any problem with my CS5 installed, that works perfectly.  Any suggestions?  The precautions I take?

  Thank you

  There is no way to prevent the problems I know.  Deleting an older version after a new installation problems.  You will have to perhaps to reinstall 5, or worst case, clean the system disk and reinstall all Windows on the spot.

  Does not not not saying things will go bad, just that they pourraient .  Be prepared.

• problem with uninstalling a program

  I went to programs and features and a right click on a program to uninstall it, but while it has been uninstalled my computer froze (well, not really freeze, because I could only move my mouse). After 15 minutes, I have the computer shuts down completely and returned to uninstall the program. He was no longer listed in programs and features, but it has not been uninstalled. I don't know how to uninstall it now since it does not appear...

  I also have another problem where a program that is technically uninstalled and deleted from your computer is still listed on programs and features. I have installed what is called "Timberman" when I mess with Firefox to the market. I deleted Timberman instead of uninstalling it and now when I try to uninstall from programs and features, nothing happens, and it has remained ever since.

  Hello.

  My apologies for the late reply.

  You can place the computer in a clean boot state, and then uninstall the program.

  Step 1: Put the computer in a clean boot state

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  Place your system in the clean boot state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. You must follow the steps in the article mentioned below to perform a clean boot.

  How to perform a clean boot in Windows

  Note: see 'How do I reset the computer to start normally after a boot minimum troubleshooting' to reset the computer starts normally after troubleshooting.

  Step 2: Run the System File Checker tool

  System File Checker is a Windows utility that allows users to find corruptions in Windows system files and restore the damaged files.

  To do this, click Start, type command or cmd prompt in the Search box, right click invite, and then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow.

  At the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:

  sfc/scannow

  Note: Do not close the command prompt window until the audit is completed 100%. The results of the analysis will be posted when this process is complete.

  I hope this helps.

  Come to the error, here are two ways to fix.

  I think it's depend on... for example, if you want to open all types of file of the video file to open in your video player favorite itz acceptable to choose program to "set this program as default"...

  But if you want certain types of video files to open with another player (with double clicking on file)... Choose the second option "Choose defaults for this program"

• have problems to uninstall a program

  I installed build 915 dopdf8. novapdf is installed as well. now I want to uninstall both of them, but I deleted all the files in the folder of softland under program files. some files are deleted. also I couldn't uninstall these programs. What should I do now?

  Please help me...

  1 reinstall the programs and then remove them properly using the control panel > programs and features rather than deleting files.

  or

  2. use free Revo Uninstaller--> http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html

  Because you have "partially uninstalled' the program by deleting files, you may need to use the free trial of the 'Pro' version ($ 39.25 to buy), which includes some more aggressive techniques of hair removal.

• Impossible to uninstall some programs plug-and-play

  I uninstalled a few programs (which are almost p2p) via the control panel. the programs have not been completely uninstalled so I used regedit and still I can't get rid of them altogether. Help, please.

  Try using Revo http://www.snapfiles.com/reviews/revo-uninstaller/revouninstaller.html instead of Vista uninstalling the program.  If Revo can't find the programs, you will need to re - install them again so they can be removed properly.  Try to uninstall manually or even worse, thanks to the registry, is a work essentially hopeless because files and entries are distributed all over the place and you will never be able to find them all (and may cause problems with your system or other programs by making the attempt).

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

  Whenever the error, I removed itunes/QuickTime and started with no result better.  Windows Vista is my operating system

  I am a computer illerate and it means nothing to me.  Any help on installing itunes will be greatly appreciated.

  Hello bdw4228,

  It would be very helpful if you could find the number of HResult after the error, as that would give a lot of information on this module is a failure. You might be able to find in the details of the error in the event log.

  You can try to repair the .net framework which could cause problems with the Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack, you are trying to download. I would like to download and install the Windows Installer 4.5 Redistributable. You candownload from the link here. It will update the .NET framework 4.5. Operating system Windows Vista has .NET 3.0 pre installed on the computer. You will need the X 86 version for a 32-bit computer.

  Once you have installed the new .NET framework 4.5, then I download the Windows Installer Cleanup utility and remove all references to Bonjeaur, iTunes and Quicktime. Clickhere to download the Windows Installer Cleanup utility. You can use the utility to remove installation information for programs that were installed by using Windows Installer. Remember that Windows Installer CleanUp Utility does not remove the actual program from your computer. However, it will remove the installation files so that you can start the installation, upgrade, or uninstall on.

  Now, try reinstalling iTunes.

  Please reply back and let us know if this can help.

  Thank you
