Admin User Does Not Allow Uninstall/Change/Repair To Programs
Mar 23, 2008I installed Vista Ultimate about 8 months ago. This was an upgrade from XP. I just now have had the need to do an uninstall. I went to my Admin User account (although my normal user account has Admin privileges) and when I go to Add/Remove programs, there are no command lines for Uninstall/Remove/Repair programs.
I verified that my normal user account had Admin privileges. Logged into it and it does not have the capability to do any of the above. I even added a new user with Admin privileges, no success. I then re-installed Vista Ultimate as an "upgrade" again, still the same problem. All my user accounts have full security access, so I know that's not it. I've read through the threads and although there are similar admin issues, I haven't seen this specific one. I have tried a couple of the suggestions for other Admin problems to no avail.
Uninstall A Program In Control Panel
May 24, 2008For some reason only six programs appear in the list of "uninstall a program" in Control Panel. There is a comment that only programs written for Windows will be listed. Up until recently a long list of programs I installed in the past were listed. Does anyone know what has happened?

Mar 23, 2008I installed the upgrade to windows vista ultimate, because I thought I had to when I bought my computer. Now that I know it is unneccessary, I want to use just the vista Retail. How do I uninstall Vista Ultimate? I have already gone into control panel and it does not give me the options. Am I going to need to do a system restore? And if I do, is that going to wipe off everything else that i have installed.

Someone tell me that these programs blocked by UAC must be updated from the developers to pass the UAC.

Sep 20, 2006Just installed Vista RC1 yesterday on my Packard Bell R0900 Notebook. Everything went well with the install, until it came to the performance test... I let it run for 1,5 hours and nothing seemed to happen (screen went black in the beginning, but that was all). So I decided to not let him do the test (after a hard reboot). And all looked fine, except for:
- Opening windows give a big lag (like control panel). It takes about 5 sec to load one window!
- Same for the start menu...
- On fading when for example vista asks whether you will allow something to run, makes it lag alot too... (Same when shutting down or logging of (the fade takes like 20 secs).
- When typing something, it takes like 3 secs to show the first letters...

Cant Open The Control Panel
Jun 24, 2008I cant open the control panel on my system either fron the desktop shortcut or the start menu. I did think it may be a driver issue after i upgraded my 8800gtxoc2 to the latest nvidia driver. I decided to do a system restore to just before i did the instalation, but after 6 attempts on several restore points they have all failed. I have strated my comp up in safe mode and removed the driver but the problem is still there. i have restarted the software licence but i am stuck now and need some advice before i bite the bullet and reformat. Using the origional vista disk is there a way of doing a re-instal without losing my data.

Oct 14, 2006I did a clean install. (RC1 - Build 5600) At first, everything was working great, then the next day I have nothing in Control Panel. From the Start Menu it says (empty) after attempting to load it for 20-ish seconds. If I click the desktop shortcut, it will load the window frame with no content, then just close after 5 seconds. In Windows Explorer I can expand the Control Panel from the sidebar, and pick from there, but just selecting Control Panel, again doesn't work. I remember this being corrupted .cpl files back in the 3.x days, same thing maybe? I ran System File Checker, didn't fix it (did find corrupted files though, oi vey).

I mean I might have six Icons showing. I can move the control panel to the top and go into IE8 and boom bottom left hand corner which is where it always goes to. Any thoughts? I would be happy to leave it there but the icons inside now that's another thing. TIA for considerations.........

Jul 29, 2009I was removing some programs form ym computer earlier and It asked me to reboot my computer once I removed BlueSoleil, So I did, When my computer loaded back up the Login Background was black and all I could see was the name and password field, So I decided to go on and as I'm currently learning BATCH program I decided to go and do some to only find that the Icons were missing, It just shown an "Invalid Icon" icon, I thought that couldn't be right and decided to SR (System Restore) But as I went onto the Control Panel nothing was showing up, No icons. No words. Nothing. I did WindowKey+F and searched for System Restore and found it bt as I tried to open it, It would give me an error due to the "Run As Administrator" compatability isn't working properly.

Nvidia Control Panel Crashing..
Jan 15, 2009Hey everyone. How ya been.
Basically here's my problem. I'm trying to open the Nvidia Control Panel, and it crashes and gives me the option to check for solutions online.. and Nothing seems to get the Control Panel to open.
Yes, I've done a Re Install of Drivers, I've updated and tried the 180.43, 44, 48 and then just did the 181.20's. Still doesn't work. I was then told that the 185 extreme G drivers helped someone with same problem. So I just barely installed those, with NO luck. It's still crashing. Basically I just got my new GTX 260 today and I now can run SLI, but I can't get the darn control panel open to enable SLI... I'm going crazy here.
I googled the problem, and someone suggested I delete the nvapps.xml folder in the actual driver file location and then reinstall. I tried that as well.
If ANYONE has any idea's on how to fix this I'm very open to suggestions. I've just installed NV system Tools, but if it's anything like nTune I don't want it near my system. lol.
Please help me out. I wanna see these babies in action.
Thanks!

Apr 28, 2008I used to have a graphics application on my computer (RealDraw). I uninstalled it. It does not appear in my Control Panel listing anymore. But, when I go into Windows Explorer, right-click and select the "New" menu selection, I still see the option for a "Real DRAW Project" on the list. Is there a way to get rid of this? If I select it, I get a ".rtw" file, but no application can open it. While this isn't affecting the operation of my comuter (as far as I know), it would be nice to clean up.
