Windows XP is an illegal installation how remove it.

I had a 'computer tech' install a program in Windows XP for me. The program has proved to be an unauthorized program. I can't get my computer to open the program, so I can remove it.

Hi Maverick36,

If the Windows XP installation is illegal, then you must reinstall Windows XP using the copy to validate to remove it.

  • I have windows 7 which is corrupt. How remove, uninstall Windows 7 so I can have a clean disk so I can install again.

    I have windows 7 which is corrupt.  How remove, uninstall Windows 7 so I can have a clean disk so I can install again?  When I try now I get the message that it is already installed and does not go further.

    Windows 7 came preloaded on your computer?

    If so, try the following:

    New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    This is how the recovery partition is available for the most popular brands

    For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

    For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

    For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

    For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

    Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

    -------------------------

    If Windows 7 is not preinstalled on your computer.

    Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
    Click Install now
    Accept the license agreement
    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

    You will receive the following warning:

    The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

    (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

    The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

    Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

    You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

  • Windows Update error 80070005 - most likely caused by a Windows Update Agent 3.0 installation - how to solve?

    I am running Windows 7 RTM and stupidly installed Windows Update Agent 3.0 (I forget why, it seemed a good idea at the time), but now I find that Windows Update does not work - whenever I try to check the updates, it will fail with error code 80070005

    There seems to be no way to remove the Update Agent 3.0 install, despite the restoration of the system, I just found out that it was fixed at 0% of the disc, so I don't have any version of the work system to restore! :(

    So, how can I resolve this situation, for example to delete Windows Update Agent 3.0 or otherwise restore the version of the Windows Update files I had before?

    And why it does not work anyway? Is it installed... could there be a bug? Or it is fundamentally incompatible with Windows 7 and never should be installed in the first place? In which case can someone at MS please update agent Installer to avoid that it install on Windows 7, so that no one else suffers from the same problem?

    Just came across the same thing. stumped for about an hour or two to the point where I was trying just anything. In the end I disabled
    McAfee On-Access scanner, ran the update, and it went through fine. Running Windows 7 x 64...

    -Go.

  • Windows 10 could not be installed-how remove this message from my first screen update?

  • Is the corrupted Windows 10 download, and if so how can I remove this and re-download the file?

    Original title: upgrade Windows 10

    I have a Dell Studio 1749 under Windows 7 Home Premium.   I postponed the upgrade of Windows 10 to the present day.  The update file appears in the control panel Windows Update Panel, but when I click start it restarts Windows 7 simply and tells me that the new updates have been installed but it was Windows 7 updates since yesterday.

    Is the corrupted Windows 10 download, and if so how can I remove this and re-download the file?    Or maybe another solution?

    Thank you.

    Review:

    Retry the upgrade manually:

    Option 1:

    Download the media creation tool

    Click with the right button on the MediaCreationTool.exe file and then click on run as administrator.

    Note: How to check if you are downloaded or installed the update Windows 10 November

    How to create an ISO or USB drive.

    Select upgrade this PC now and then click Next

    Option 2:

    Task of pre-required

    When you make significant changes to your computer for example updated operating system, you must always back up. See the links to resources on the backup by clicking the link for each version of Windows you are using: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1

    then

    then

    • Turn off (preferably uninstall) your Antivirus utility before you perform the upgrade.
    • Reboot several times, and then try again.
    • Disable the general USB peripherals (for example - smart card reader).
    • If you are using a SCSI drive, make sure you have the drivers available for your storage on a thumdrive device and it is connected. During the installation of Windows 10, click on the advanced custom Option and use the command load driver to load the driver for the SCSI drive. If this does not work and the installer still fails, consider switching to an IDE based hard drive.
    • Perform a clean boot, restart, and then try again.
    • If you upgrade to the. ISO file, disconnect from the Internet during the installation, if you are connected in LAN (Ethernet) or wireless, disable both, then try to install.
    • If you are updated through Windows Update, when download reaches 100% disconnect from the LAN (Ethernet) Internet or Wi - Fi, then proceed with the installation.
    • If this does not work, try using the. ISO file to upgrade if possible.
    • If you are connected to a domain, go to a local account.
    • If you have an external equipment, attached to the machine, unplug them (example, game controllers, USB sticks, external hard drive, printers, peripherals not essential).

    I have this search browser "inbox" which blocked in windows Explorer. Any ideas on how to remove it?

    Hi Perry,

     
    1. What is the operating system installed on your computer recently?
    2. What do you mean by "I have this search browser"inbox"which blocked in windows Explorer?
     
     
    If you think that your computer contains viruses, you can search for viruses using the Microsoft Safety Scanner, and then check if it helps.

    Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

    As you reinstalled just Vistas, you would have a very limited number of Restore Points!

    Try the system restore.

    If this does not work, and you don't know what you were doing, reinstall it again.

    http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

    Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

    Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

    Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

    Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

    See you soon.

  • Hi, I have a problem in the installation, how to install acrobat 8.1 pro in 64-bit Windows 7 Enterprise is existing in Windows XP.  I just want to transfer the license Adobe pro 8 Windows 7 64 bit. What is the procedure?

    Hi, I have a problem in the installation, how to install acrobat 8.1 pro in 64-bit Windows 7 Enterprise is existing in Windows XP.  I just want to transfer the license Adobe pro 8 Windows 7 64 bit. What is the procedure?

    You need to install 8 AA on the new OS with your current S/N (the license allows 2 installs). After the installation, do all the updates if you expect any chance of 8 AA to run on the system. If the updates will be installed not in the menu help, then go to ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/win/ and install updates in the order. People seem to have been successful with 32 - bit systems and some have reported success with a 64 bit system. After installation, print something to the Adobe PDF printer to make sure it works. If this works, you should be in good shape as printing treat the bottleneck. There is a solution, but you shouldn't have it.

    If all works well, then go back to the old machine and disable this installing and uninstalling. Don't forget that your configuration is not supported by Adobe. It seems with every new version of Windows, MS seeks to make the user to upgrade the other hardware and software for compatibility. There may be legitimate reasons for this action, but the game just seems to be Ms.
