Cannot Delete Program
Jan 13, 2009
I installed software for Canon Scanner that has caused me problems. I found out that Canon now has updated software to deal with Vista problems. However I have to delete the old software, but cannot. I get the following message: The System administrator hs set policies to prevent this installation. What gives? I am the administrator, and the ONLY person using this PC?

I was on my computer one time and this WInSpywareProtect program just came on and it would not go away. I tried searching for it to delete it but I could not find it. It just pops up at the worst time and won't go away. How to delete it.

I installed a program but it does not apear in the programs and features list while it is working well. I decided to uninstall it but I could not do this because it does not apear in the programs and features list so I tried to delete its folder from C:Program Files but I could not so then I turned my computer in the safe mode and I could delete its folder. Then the problems start to begin: the security center can not see the installed antivirus, when I try to uninstall or install the programs I get: (access is denied contact the administrator) although I am an administrator. Even i could not rename my folders in the C hard disk. also when I try to open system restore I get (There was unexpected error: class not registerd 0x80040154). I do not know if it is virus or a mistake I made by deleting that program.

I tried to delete a template in "My Templates) in "Word". It would not go the the recyle bin as a file was opened in another program. I discovered that when I went Word I get Document 1. I then click the Office Button. Click on close and get a faded screen. Click the Office Button again and the only options are:
Open
Open from Office Live
Save to Office Live
Is this the open file? If it is how do I delete it?

I have a Canon camera. I have tried uninstalling a Canon program from the control panel. It will not uninstall. I have tried using the uninstall.exe from the Common Files/Canon. It won't uninstall. We tried several different things, even a system restore. Nothing works.

My brand new computer has a virus and I used windows defender to delete it and everytime it gets done scanning it says an error has occured and I can't even delete the program that has the virus. I'm really upset that to even get help with this, i have to pay 60.00 for "advanced support." Vista is starting to SUCK.

When ever i try to delete a program or some file types off my computer, a popup comes on saying Windows explorer has stopped responding, and it closes all my windows and freezes my computer for a couple minutes. This has become very annoying as i am trying to clean up old files on my computer.

I have Windows Vista Ultimate x64, and it came with 2 set of program files: program files, and program files x86. Since my hard drive is only 100 gigs, I was wondering if I could delete the normal program files and keep the x86 ones, or would that cause problems?

I can delete my browsing history but it dosen't delete my favorite history. I don't want to delete my favorite list, just the history from when I access my favorite sites. Also how do I stop pages from auto loading. When I leave my pc on, when I get back to it I noticed other sites have automactically loaded. These ere sites my grandson went out to. I really don't have a need to go out to ninja turtle sites. I have tried everything I know to correct the above two issues but can't.

DOS has finally died (MS claimed this in Windows 3.1, but it only died in x64). I have an old program which worked from the days of 286-AT to Vista-32. Unfortunately, it no longer works in Vista/Win7 x64.
Code:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
voidmain (int argc, char *argv[])......................

I still haven't found a Win 7 NG. In XP I could hit Ctrl-Alt-Del to be able to end a program. How do I do that in Win 7?

I was browsing the internet and was going to install this one software, but noticed i clicked on the wrong button and Advance Virus Remover was installed. I looked on the control panal to uninstall it, didn't show up, so i went through and deleted all the files pertaining to the program. now, there is an icon on my tool bar that i can't click on and it blocks some of my stuff, like when i try opening a movie, saying the the "Application cannot be executed. The file is infected. Please activate your antivirus software." i ran a virus scan, got nothing. I even tried a full restore, since i just got this computer monday, and it was still there.

Normally when I uninstall a program I go into control
panel/programs-features and uninstall it. I tried to uninstall Forte
Agent(email program) and got the message "could not open INSTALL.LOG file".
There has to be another way to uninstall a program. I also have 2 programs
listed in programs-features that when I try to uninstall tells me it is no
longer located on computer. Help me fellows!

I did a search for "x86" on these forums and did not find anything. So, I'd like to ask a few quick question to Brink or anyone else that might know.
This is my first computer with a 64-bit OS (Vista Home Premium). I noticed that there are two separate "Program Files" directories off of root C:
a "Program Files" directory a "Program Files (x86)" directory Is there a difference between the two directories that we should know about?
Also, I've been installing programs to "Program Files (x86)." The programs I've been installing are not necessary 64-bit programs. Should I be installing programs to the "Program Files" directory, instead?

When I click on "show blocked programs" the blocked program is shown but when I highlight it, the option to "Allow" is grayed out.
How do I get Windows to allow the program to run, I have tried setting the exe file to "Run as administrator" but it did not work.

I read the "answer" post about UAC, and was wondering why when I set something to "run as administrator" in it's Properties it does not do so on an Administrator account? On the Guest account I have set up the program runs without asking for any kind of verification or admin password, but it always asks for such when run from the administrator account. What has gone wrong here? Is there some way to make a program "trusted" (like all Microsoft products) so that it doesn't ever need verification for all accounts on a system?

I have a program that's supposed to start when I boot into Windows (Vista Home Premium, SP2). However, I get a message that says it's blocked - so, I have to go in and unblock it manually. Is there any way I can set it so it unblocks (or doesn't block at all)

I've got a program that will only work properly if I use "Run as Administrator", despite being logged in as an administrator. Is there a way I can fix this, so it runs normally? PS, I know I shouldn't be running as administrator, but this is a PC that is rarely connected to the Internet, and used for two or three specific tasks.

I have 2 situations here but I think they are related.
1. I have a couple programs that every time I go to start them I get "A program needs your permission to continue"I have to click "continue" so they will run.
2. i have several programs that on their desktop icons have the "Firewall Shield" on them. (shield divide into 4 colors)
How do I get the shields to go away?
How do I get the "need permission" message to stop coming up?

This is my first post in this forum. I use Vista Home premium. my DEP setting is Turn on for all programs except those I select. My querry is-Whenever I go to the folder of a program in "Program Files" folder, I notice that it has numerous folders, and each of these folders have numerous .exe files. Moreover, it is not possible to "Batch Select" all the .exe files in a folder, the procedure has to be repeated for each .exe file individually. This is cumbersome. Is there a better
way of doing it?

So I was spending way too much time on facebook and way too much time gaming when I needed to study for a chem test today so I thought it would be a good idea to somehow enable parental controls to only give me 30 mins a day on facebook and an reasonable amount of time on the computer game. I was going to get my roomate to type the password. After I went to parental controls I quickly realized that I could not micro manage the parental controls the way I wanted to because vista sucks.
So I downloaded "USER TIME CONTROL CENTER v 4.9.2.7" from "http://www.1securitycenter.com/index.html" and installed it. Then I realized I did not like the program because when I ran it it did not allow me to use any kind of administrative commands. It took me awile to figure out how to disable it but when I did I was able to uninstall it. The computer rebooted and then I quickly deleted it from out of my recycling bin only to find out that I still can not run administrative commands.
So now I:
1. Do not have the program
2. Can not reinstall the program
3. Can not restore program
4. Can not use any kind of 'run as administrator' (No error message, it tells me to type password but it wont let me imput)
Think that the problem is related to:
1. Csrss.exe
2. Csrstub.exe
And I dont know how to: Access User:administrator
