Uninstalling programs... Should I or shouldn't I

Similar Questions

• Super slow computer after uninstalling programs...

  I recently had strange problems with my system. They include:

  • Before, when I left my computer for a bit, it goes into sleep mode and displays my screensaver. Now, instead of showing my screensaver, it only shows my wallpaper. Nothing else. No internet browsing software, no icons. My paper just painted. There are a few times when my screensaver appears but only about 1 in 5 times.
  • I put my computer to ask me a password when I wake. But the password dialog box is not displayed when I move the mouse. I have to enter Ctrl + Alt + Del to force the dialog box to appear. I'm positive, I put my computer so that I don't have to use Ctrl + Alt + Delete, but it does not work. And sometimes the command does not work yet. I can stay there and keep only typing for an hour and nothing would happen.
  • Programs to take a long time to start. Microsoft Word used to load in 1 or 2 minutes, but now I have to wait 5-10 minutes.
  • Web pages take a long time to load. It should take only a few seconds at most, but now it takes a few minutes for a page to load. I don't have the best Internet service but I am sure that shouldn't be that slow. 3 weeks, everything worked fine. Last week, all these problems began to occur. I changed my ISP 5 months ago and the Internet was going well so far. I tried to clear my cache, delete my history and cookies, but nothing works.
  • I use Google Chrome as my browser, and when I try to search something in the Omnibox (aka the address bar), it takes forever to load. I have to go to www.google.com and type my search in there. My default search provider is Google, but I don't understand why the site works very well but is not the address bar.
  • On Facebook, I can't comment on, such as updates, see all the comments on a post, or see my notifications. When I click the button I like or click on "View all comments" on a post, it does nothing. I click a few times more, but it does nothing. The same thing happens when I click on my Notifications at the top. Nothing happens. And when I click on the chat on the bottom bar to see who is online. No effect. Is this something to do with Java? I have the latest version of Java, Adobe Flash Player and Adobe Shockwave Flash.

  These problems started occurring just after that I uninstalled a few programs on my computer. They were in a few games and The Weather Channel Desktop App. If anything, uninstall programs should make my computer faster; no more slow. I have AVG antivirus installed and I've scanned my computer already and I have not all infections.
  I use Windows XP and have the latest Service Pack installed (it was 4 SP...?). My computer is somewhat old (I got it in 2005). I have a HDD AMD with maximum capacity of 40 GB. 1.70 GHz Intel Celron processor and about 220 MB of RAM then that I write this. It is quite old compared to new laptops nowadays (they have 400 GB Intel hard drives with 4 GB of RAM).

  I have AVG would eliminate for a while and see how things seem to be of course use their uninstaller from here:

  http://www.Avg.com/us-en/utilities

  You can always reinstall AVG later if yo have to do (I don't would be not so constrained).

  If you are worried about an infection, disconnect the Internet after uninstalling AVG, then see how to open your Word documents and other features with AVG off the image.

  If you are worried about not having protection AV install Microsoft Security Essentials .  MSE completed with MBAM and SAS is pretty good protection and has low overhead.

  If she was not so freakin ' complicated to upload a screenshot here, it would be nice to see the Manager of tasks sorted by the CPU column) descending) when the system malfunctions.

  Maybe someone will post this link on how to do that - I never found and it makes me sick to even read.  I am spoiled to work in the Big Boy forums where things such as viewing the screenshots are just a click away...

  Here's one way:

  To create and send/post/print capture screen or a screenshot:

  Press the Print Scrn button to copy your entire screen to the Windows Clipboard.

  Press Alt Print Scrn to copy the active window to the Windows Clipboard.

  Open MS Paint:

  Start, programs, accessories, paint

  When the painting opens, press CTRL + V to paste the Clipboard, save the new file in paint on your desktop or somewhere that you remember.  JPG files take up less disk space than BMP files and are just as readable.

  Make screen captures as much as you want.  Practice makes perfect.  Make sure that your screenshot does not contain personal information.  Practice the visualization of your images before you send them to make sure they agree.

  Some sites will allow you to attach a file directly on your post, but not the MS Answers forums.  If the site has a sort of piece attachment/upload function it is usually easier just to use it.

  If there is no such function in your forum to download files, then use a third-party free hosting site WWW image.

  Create a free account on some free photo hosting website.  You can always delete your account later if you wish.  Here are some free image hosting sites:

  http://www.imageshack.us/
  http://Photobucket.com/
  With your free account, download your screenshot (s) (JPG or BMP files) on the site and it is up to you to a URL (Direct link) for your new images that you can paste the link directly in the post message, e-mail, etc.

  Send this web address link live here in your answer, and we can click on the address of the link and see your screenshot.  After as many times as you need - the sites are free.

  When you are finished, the link that you post here should look like this my poor system:

• is the flash uninstall program uninstalls all versions of Flash player?

  Hi all, I noticed that when I installed a new version of Flash Player, version stays and can be seen in programs and features.

  my main question is: because the available on Adobe.com Flash uninstaller uninstalls all versions of Flash, so Flash cleaning entirely from the system?

  a few side issues:

  -can I use any old Flash uninstaller to uninstall my current Flash?

  -Why the new auto Flash does not uninstall the old Flash during successful installation?

  It's complicated.

  Flash Player is a built-in component of Microsoft Internet Explorer on Windows 8 and higher and on Google Chrome.  Run the uninstall program removes these, because they are not under our control.

  For the other browser plug-ins, run the uninstall program should clean them.

  Updates to Flash Player replace installed Flash Player.  We ship on a monthly basis, leaving each old version installed on your machine would be pretty silly after a very short time.  Each release also includes important security fixes, if you always want to be browsing the web with the latest version of Flash Player.

  Is there something specific that you are looking to accomplish?

  1. Open programs and features by clicking on the button start , by clicking on the Control Panel, click programs, and then click programs and features.

  2. Select a program and then click on uninstall. Some programs include the ability to modify or repair the program in addition to uninstall. but many simply offer the option uninstall.

• Impossible to uninstall programs in Control Panel

  I'm in the Control Panel, try to uninstall programs. There are several programs that I can't uninstall.

They take place on my hard drive and I do not use them. Even when I go to remove the icon, it opens a window which says removing the icon, it is not uninstall the program. How is it, I can't uninstall these programs?

• Uninstall programs in Vista as an administrator?

  I had this problem for a while when I go in uninstall a program in the menu programs and features in the control panel and with most of the programs, I get an error that says "the system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation." However, I am the administrator of the computer only. Of course I've tried through the original programs uninstall feature if it has one, but it does not work. I tried to pass files them self in Program Files, and check the permissions, but it says I have all permissions.
