Unsuccessful uninstall of Windows Live Essentials

In a previous post, I mentioned that windows live essentials 2011, has been making my computer run in a blue screen. Now, I have learned that it is a registry related problem and tried to uninstall Windows Live Essentials 2011, to see if it makes a difference, but I could not uninstall! How can I get rid of these files (and registry entries) so that my computer runs normally again?

  • uninstall Windows live essentials

    I am on Windows 7 with a 64-bit laptop DV7. I have problems with Windows Live Mail, because when I click on the Inbox, sent. deleted etc, nothing happens. The only way I can get to my mail is to use 'Find' or to go to my Plusnet account. This is a nuisance. I have been informed through groups of Microsoft users that the best way to overcome this problem is to uninstall windows Live Essentials and instructions on how to do are on the Microsoft Web site. However, when I try I can't bring up the windows that would allow me to do. (see "how to remove and reinstall Windows Live Rssentials - I can't past 3 and" can't not "Uninstall") Could it be because there is a slight modification to the Hp software please, and if so someone can tell me how I can uninstall and then reinstall. Otherwise, it seems now that I'll have to go through the pain of complete recovery to try to resolve the problem. For any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated. GordonW

  • How to uninstall Windows live essentials so when I try to reinstall all of them appear as the installation options?

    I'm using IE8 and windows live essentials. I tried to uninstall windows live essentials and it was no problem. When I downloaded the game to reinstall again had the options to reinstall one of them with the exception of one who was not installed. How can I clean uninstall live essentials so everything is reinstalled again?

    Hello godsdragon,

    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

    It shows that you have a corruption in your file system.
    Run the System File Checker:

    Click Start
    Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD
    Click on "Run as Administrator"
    At the command prompt, type: sfc/scannow

    This will check for any violation of the integrity and repair any damaged operating system files.

    Restart your system

    Then try again and download and install Windows Installer Cleanup Tool. Click here to download the 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.

    If this does not work uninstall, reinstall the program and then try to uninstall again. Usually, this will help to eliminate all aspects of the programs.

    I hope this helps.
