Uninstall Option And The Installshield Wizard Box Usual
Mar 24, 2009
I seem to have lost some programs. It's all rather baffling as this has never happened to me before. I installed all the software that came with my shiny new (well it was when I bought it!) JVC Everio hard drive camcorder.No problems there as it all worked fine. The only thing was that I didn't really like using it. I found d/l'ing my recordings through windows and using windows Movie Maker to be a lot less bothersome and easier than the JVC stuff. I've been doing that for a while now so I thought I'd uninstall all the JVC stuff.Went to do this and I just can't uninstall it.
There's two ways to do this.The first way I tried was to go into my start menu, where you can hover over the program which brings up a box with different options to do with the program, like run it, read the help stuff and all the other things you can do. At the bottom of this is the 'uninstall this program option. (I've used this method to uninstall lots of other programs in the past with no bother at all)....................
i had a vista & ubuntu dual boot system, but after forgetting my username & password for ubuntu i uninstalled it, but i still get the option to boot from it on a restart etc i uninstalled ubuntu from add/remove programs & it said it uninstalled successfully
I have vista home premium. Upon placing a CD (game) into the drive the installshield wizzard starts up. HOWEVER, as soon as it starts to transfer the game onto hard drive (C) it stops abruptly telling me the the setup has been interrupted and after which it closes. This has never happened before no matter how old the game.
I'm trying to install Maya 8.5, it refuses to continue and pops up a dialog reads: "The InstallShield Script Engine is older than the version required. The installation couldn't be completed... please install the latest isscript.msi.
can you tell me a way to uninstall Call of Duty other than through putting in the disk and pressing UNINSTALL or in the 'All Programs'? Because it just won't uninstall there: I press install and the window simply closes and nothing else. I am asking this because I have found some patches on the Activision website (now I can get on it again) and I wan't to reinstall it...
I was having problems installing a program (Berlitz German Premier) where the install would just disappear halfway thru the process. A program would not appear under my programs list but when I went to Uninstall an icon for uninstall of the Berlitz software appears for each time I tried to install it. However I get the following error messages (see attached document with screen captures) when I tried to delete it the traditional way.
When I use Windows Install Clean Up utility, the program is nowhere to be found on the list; thus I can't use that program.
Somehow the 'uninstall' button disappeared for most programs on my Vista Home Premium box when I used Control Pannel -> Programs -> Uninstall a Program. A few programs still have 'uninstall' button available - those have 'installed on' showing. The rest (80+% of all)don't have 'installed on' values showing and don't have 'uninstall' button.
the xp scanner and camer wizard and i cant get my head around the new vista photo gallery & automatic scanner. all i want to be able to do is once i scan in a photo, is resize it to fit te page, but i cant seem to do this with vista - the xp scanner had a preview button which you could then just click to fit the screen
I am trying to get a Vista Laptop to print to a XP desktop. It appears instead of setting it up as a network printer, I install as local printer and use UNC naming(\computernameprintername) to connect to the printer.
The problem I have it that Vista isn't consistent in it's add a printer wizard or there is something wrong with this laptop.
On my Vista Ultimate when I go to add a printer I get a list of manufactures and models. On this laptop with Vista Business, the wizard looks the same but never shows the list of manufactures or models. I have a choice of 'window update' or 'have disk'. Since there is no disk for an HP printer for Vista I choose 'window update', but it only has 5 Deskjet printers and none are the one I have (920c). I have installed two of the drives from this location and can get the printer to send a blank piece of paper (which is good, it shows I have the connection to the network printer), I just have the wrong driver.
1. Tell me if this will work. Install the printer locally, then try the local port to connect to the printer and let it use the drivers it used to install it locally? OR 2. Insert my Vista Ultimate DVD when it asks if I have the disk and make it search the DVD for the driver. I guess I could do the same with the current install as the drivers have to be there somewhere.
I have been trying to play 1602ad on Windows Vista and it needs to be run in 256 color mode. I have run the compatiblity wizard like everyone has told me to and it doesn't change anything. I have even gone straight to the application and told it to run in 256 mode and nothing happens game still won't work. Is there a driver or something I can download to get my monitor to display in 256. I have and generic PnP monitor.
After I upgraded my notebook to Vista from XP, I cannot add printers to the system. Before install, all printers where listed, but after install, nothing. Not even the document printer from MS Office. When I try to add my network printer, I get a "Local Print Spooler not started" message and when I manullay start that service, i receive an "error 0x000006be" when I try to re-install my network printer. I know that it is not a printer driver issue. Does any one have any fixes or know where I can find a fix. Cannot find anything in the MS Knowledgebases.
Until recently, my scanner & camera wizard worked fine when I plugged in my memory card reader. Then it just stopped appearing when I plugged in the device. It just doesn't appear. I have seen other posts about changing registry entries, but I didn't want to mess with that until I was sure. How to I fix this so the scanner & camera wizard will autoplay?
After I install Gears of War I get a "Instullation wizard has stopped running and my start up code has been modifed. When I go the the main menu O the game and press play I am stoped and a message pops up that says it can not be played on a modifed code.
My Vista Ultimate box will not recognize the Xbox 360 as a Media Center Extender. I do see the Xbox 360 in my network devices, but i do not see the install option. Additionally, it will not find the Xbox through the Extnder wizard in Media Center. I have network discovery, file sharing and media sharing enabled. However, i am able to UPNP share via Windows Media Player.
ON SUNDAY MARCH 2ND I DECIDED TO REINSTALL VISTA HOME PREMIUM BECAUSE ICOULDN'T GET WINDOWS MEDIA CENTER TO WORK. AFTERWARDS, WHEN I PLUGGED INMY SEAGATE EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE AND TRIED TO USE THE BACKUP WIZARD I SAW THIS MESSAGE: -"THE DISK CONTAINING THE BACKUP IS NOT ACCESSIBLE. PLEASE MAKE SURE IT IS TURNED ON AND CONNECTED TO THE COMPUTER." -I PANICKED AT FIRST BECAUSE I THOUGHT THIS MEANT THAT I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO ACCESS THE FILES ON MY SEAGATE, BUT I REMEMBERED THAT I COULD GO THE LONG WAY BY GOING THROUGH WINDOWS EXPLORER AND CLICKING ON FOLDER AFTER FOLDER AFTER FOLDER, ETC. I WOULD RATHER NOT HAVE TO DO THIS, ESPECIALLY SINCE ALL I'M LOOKING FOR IS JUST-ONE -FOLDER!
My wife's laptop, running vista home basic, only came with works word processor loaded, and cannot open docx files. Although I put zamzar on her favourites it can, when busy, take time to get the link, so I am after some freeware to convert and/or view the file.I don't think she is fussed about being able to edit it. Can anyone recommend something?Although she only needs a very basic wp I was thinking about downloading openoffice for her, as I noticed in my searches that it had a file converter wizard- will that handle docx?
I have selected all the internet options and my internet connection is working fine but Windows Media Player keeps saying I must run the Internet connection Wizard. I can't connect to Media Guide or Stores. I've also tried disabling the firewall.
Running Vistax64, Sp1, clean install on a new home built machine. When I launch the media center wizard, when it gets to the place where it sets out to test the speakers, it stops working and 'has to close.' I have uninstalled Nero 7, my anti-virus software, flv player as well as the other speaker utility that came with the motherboard (SoundMax BlackHawk) and run the 'scannow utility' but so far nothing has worked. Here is the report, for those of you that can understand this:
*product* Media Center *Problem*APPCRASH *Date*24/04/2008 10:10 AM *Status*Report Sent *Description*Stopped working...
For what it is worth, the same fault module version is showing up every time I attempt to import a video file (dv) into the storyboard in windows movie maker:confused:... If anyone has any thoughts on the matter, I'm all ears!
I ran the disk cleanup wizard the other night on my C drive. It scanned my C drive as normal and then came up with results to clean, one of which was for error reporting logs which wasnt ticked by default, but was apparently 99gigs worth! I thought this was pretty interesting seeing as my C drive is only 32gig big, so out of curiosity I ticked the box to cleanup the 99gig of logs, and sat back and watched. Everything seemed fine after it finished, but I rebooted to be sure and then my wallpaper went missing. I went to set the wallpaper back to what it was..... and noticed the file was missing. Then I checked the start menu, all my programs have been removed! (example, powerdvd gone, alcohol 120 gone, winzip etc all gone and nothing working, not just removed from the start menu, but also uninstalled from hdd)
I bought a new laptop with Vista already installed on it. I want to install XP in a multi boot configuration but get stuck in Disk Management and am unable to proceed from there. I'd like to keep Vista on my laptop, but if it comes down to it I'll need to take it off and put on XP because our work computers run with XP and we do a lot of work on reports and presentations from home and network from home. I can't find the New Partition Wizard to make a space for XP.
Last week I upgraded a HPxw4400X workstation from WinXP Pro w/SP3 to Vista Business. I did a full backup and also used FAST (files and settings transfer wizard). However, I soon found out that the DVD drive was "broke". HP told me it was because of the upgrade. They said to do a fresh install. Did another backup, fresh install, then a restore. Had lots of problems with BSOD, but a selective restore got it working again. But he can't see MS Office, nor navigate to it. I can see it when logged in as an admin. I thought of copying files and folders between profiles (he has 3 of 'em - , ., and ..000). The former is the oldest so I thought I could copy the App Data and User Data over it'd work (in both Documents and Settings, and Users), but it didn't work. I've been here working on various issues for 28 hours, so I'm not thinking as clearly as I'd like.
Recently I have run some registry programs like RegCure, Registry Mechanic, CCleaner, etc and I'm not sure if it affects my system.
1) Most of my programs in the Start menu are missing. Below are some of the examples: a) Under "Accessories", I can only see Bluetooth File Transfer Wizard, Command Prompt and Run. b) Under "Games", I can only see Game Explorer c) Many programs shortcut like Window Defender, etc are missing. d) I still do not know what else are missing.
2) Windows take some time to shut down and startup and also running of programs...........
I own an Acer Ferrari 1100 PC with the 64-bit Windows Vista Ultimate. When I start the computer, I get the error message (in Finnish):
"System Wizard on ajettava uudelleen ennen kuin voit k??ytt???? t??m??n sovellutuksen t??ytt?? toiminnallisuutta."
This translates into English as "The System Wizard must be executed again in order for you to be able to utilize the full functionality of this application." I have not succeeded in finding the System Wizard, or in finding the instructions how to use it.
I have a HP Color Laser Jet 3600n already installed on the company network. I just got a new gateway with Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit. When i go to the printer wizard it locates the 3600 printer on the network. Then it asks me to choose the printer software from a list. or choose a disk. I don't have the disk. So, looking through this list, it doesn't even have the HP Color Laser Jet 3600 in there. it's got a 3000 and then jumps to 7000.
I'm wanting to put my computer in hibernate and I click on the start menue but the option is no longer there. I have the option to sleep, shut down, lock and so on but no longer have hibernate. Whats up with that ? Does anyone have a clue?
I have tried to format my computer, first I tried by just inserting the disc, no luck, then I tried booting it from the disc, no luck then I tried going into computer management right clicking my c drive but the format option is no available. I have evn tried phoneing Microsoft but they want $80.00. Finally I thought I would format it by using my XP disc, installing XP and then upgrading to put vista back on the system but it won't let me do that either.
