Uninstall Or Delete Unwanted Programs?

Sep 26, 2009

I'm the admin of this computer and User Account is turned off.... how do I get to uninstall or delete unwanted programs in Vista Home Premium? Why am I still getting the "need permission" error when trying to uninstall programs? Unlocker will not unlock them for removal. My PC is getting full of unwanted software thanks to all these confusing poorly designed MS safety features.

May 5, 2008

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...

MAagent.exe: Disable Unwanted Startup Programs

May 20, 2007

So recently I went into msconfig to disable unwanted startup programs. However I noticed one file that stands out and I'm not sure if it spyware or something else that could be a threat. MAagent.exe is in the start up tab and the description for the file is in korean. I tried googling the file and there was nothing I could find about it.

Programs Randomly Uninstall Very Often.

May 27, 2008

I have Vista Business x64 SP1. I'm having a problem where programs will suddenly be gone from my system. I used to think this only happened when booting up, but I have noticed that the programs can disappear even when Vista's been running for a while. Here are some of the programs that disappear: SQL Server Management Studio, Java, Logitech SetPoint x64, Firefox, SQLNCLI, Lexmark printer drivers, Visual SVN (A Visual Studio 2008 plugin). The weird thing is, not all of the program's files will be gone. For instance, the folders will still be there and some of the files will be too, but some of the files necessary for the program to run will be gone.

Some times, but not all, when I boot my computer the ethernet port will not work. If I plug the cable into my other ethernet port, I will get internet, but not through the first one. If I reboot the system, I'll get a connection through the port. If I try to Disable and re-enable the port, windows will run up one of the processors and the system will be unresponsive for a while. After 5-10 minutes, it will finish, but it is then not possible to re-enable the port. I've had a problem with SetPoint disappearing before SP1, but only noticed the other programs disappearing recently.

Programs Not On Uninstall Listing

Feb 21, 2010

I need to uninstall several programs from my computer that are not listed in the uninstall list under Control Panel. I do not have a lot of experience. I have an HP 64 bit system with dual processors and a 500 gig hard drive. Please how do I uninstall these programs? I have Glary Utilities with uninstall and it cannot find the programs to uninstall them. I can find the folders myself but deleting them doesn't uninstall them. The programs work and I can access them through shortcuts on my desktop.

Admin User Does Not Allow Uninstall/Change/Repair To Programs

Mar 23, 2008

I 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.

Program Wont Uninstall It With Uninstall Or Install Cleanup Utility

Nov 20, 2008

I have Vista Home Premium 32 bit.

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.

'uninstall' Button Disappeared, Can Not Uninstall Program

May 27, 2008

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.

Unwanted Icons

Jun 1, 2008

I have no idea what I did but I have a folder on my desktop whose contents now appear to the left of the folder in a kind of veil all the way down the left side of the monitor. My icons that were on the far left are now to the right of those veiled folders located in the folder. I don't know how else to explain it. I absolutely hate Vista. I have never wasted so much time in my life. I see nothing better about it then XP but I spend hours trying find out what I've done without intention. I wish I could have gotten XP and foregone all the silly bells and whistles without paying an additional cost.

Unwanted Sounds

Jan 10, 2010

Windows Vista Home Premium. IE7. Office 2007

Peculiar sounds annoy me so I have set 'Sounds' to virtually nil using Control Panel/Sounds and disabling all the Windows boings and beeps and saved the setting as "My own".

However, I keep getting the odd boing, burp and beep, such as when closing a programme after pasting something and closing E7.

Is there somewhere else I should look to stop these irritants?

Media Center Unwanted Folders

Mar 23, 2008

After installing SP1 Media Center started listing the memory card reader slots as 4 drives in both the Video and Pictures libraries. These were never configured to be monitored in either MC or WMP and they weren't being listed in Media Center before SP1 was installed. Is there any way to remove these entries, and other root folders that sometimes show up, from the folders list in the library?

Unwanted Internet Explorer Windows

Oct 5, 2009

I know someone whom is running Windows Vista but from time to time gets internet explorer windows popping up to various sites which we're not interested in. However I have a computer which is almost exactly the same and on mine it does not happen. How can we prevent these windows from popping up when we don't want them to. Is there a tojan or some virus somewhere that causes these windows to load? The computer even has McAfee antivirus software installed. How can I fix this problem besides reinstalling Windows Vista Home Premium from scratch and hoping it fixes the problem?
