I've been having BSODs, and recently found out that AdAware leaves behind Sunbelt drivers when uninstalled - and I've come to realize they're probably the cause. I've tried deleting them, but my internet connection doesn't work without them, so I've restored them.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently took advantage of the 30-day trial for Time Warner Mobile and installed their USB device and software. (They use the same WiMax network as Sprint and Clearwire.) After deciding I didn't want it, I uninstalled the software. However, when you click on the network icon in the bottom right hand corner that lists the wireless networks in the area you can access, it still has "Time Warner Mobile 3G" listed at the very top under Dial-up and VPNs. Can anyone tell me how I can get rid of that listing since I no longer have the device or the software?.

View 1 Replies View Relatedi was wondering why after i uninstall a program for instance "Yahoo! Mwssenger", after the uninstall is complete if i run a "search" there are all kinds of files left behind. Then if i try and remove them manually some say "cannot read" or "you don't have permission".I guess what i want to know is, what is the best way to remove a program without leaving any files behind or am i just going to have to live with the left behind files on my pc?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been running video since the old voodoo 3 cards, though technically it's been longer but I got my own computer when the voodoo 3's were out. =P Anyways, I've been working with drivers since then, and I usually update every time a new update comes out and never uninstall. Heck, I don't even re-boot after installing!
From my understanding, drivers are the same as kernel modules (, or at least what we talk about in our linux world). And so shouldn't they just work after loading? I mean in linux. Well lets say in linux removing driver's is a lot more of a pain than windows and so I really want to know what all the fuss is about.
But I can't find it anywhere that says exactly why you should do it, and if it's even worth doing. I've always seen it as a waste of time, and all the old files should be overwritten or cleaned out. Idk, I've just never ran into errors from just installing, I've never seen any real evidence that proves uninstalling has any gains.
I have recently suffered from random shutdowns. We tried to debug it here in sevenforums and got to conclusion that the problem might be in my Nvidia drivers so now I'm in the process of uninstalling them completely and then re installing them.So I have downloaded driver fusion, but I'm also considering using this thread: How to: Remove your Nvidia GPU Drivers.Anyways, either way, the first part is to uninstall drivers from programs and features list. I had six Nvidia programs there. I started uninstalling them one by one. I got to graphics uninstalling part, and it required restarting the system. I clicked OK, but then my computer screen just went black, and I had to manually press the power button to shutdown my computer. ( Later I saw some tutorial which said you should uninstall everything except graphics program first, then uninstall the graphics program, so that might have caused the weird uninstall progress )
The whole uninstalling progress was weird. When I restarted my computer, I was in 640x480 resolution ( which is normal after uninstalling drivers? ) but the computer required restart of the system, so I went ahead and boom, it restarted with nvidia drivers on and with full resolution. I noticed, that the Nvidia drivers were older version, that I had updated from while ago. I did some research and found out this was quite normal that windows just rollbacked the drivers.Anyways I did this process so many times, that I got on the first nvidia drivers I've installed ( I guess ). Then I uninstalled them and it restarted without any Nvidia drivers in programs and features list, but I STILL HAD ALL THE FILES IN MY C: DRIVE. Also, the nvidia control panel didn't show up in taskbar as usual, but I could open it by typing it in Windows Start and clicking it. I tried to delete some Nvidia folder from C: but I couldn't because it was in use. It seems I have the oldest Nvidia drivers ever installed on this computer ( 301 sth. ). My screen is also in full resolution (ofc).How I can uninstall Nvidia, when it doesn't show up in programs and features list and start to delete the entries manually or with driver fusion?
I installed it but got an error saying that the driver is blocked due to compatibility. So i downloaded the beta version which is, according to Sunbelt, is Windows 7 compatible. However, the protection seems to be disabled. I try to update but the update fails every time.
Any suggestions?
I ran adaware and lost my internet access imemdiately after I removed what they recommended. My IP Address is all 0's also. Does anyone know how I can restore my internet access? I know the router is fine as Im able to access internet from other devices.

View 1 Replies View RelatedThis morning I was attempting to remove all my ATI related drivers ue to a display driver error I kept getting so that I can start fresh with a clean installation of the ATI video drivers. I went into the registry and deleted all the ATI related stuff I could find to make sure I had everything. I restarted my computer, and lo and behold, my keyboard and mouse weren't functioning at all, and I couldn't log in because of that. I realized in deleting those ATI drivers I'd possibly removed the USB controllers. So I had nowhere else to go except to system restore, but it told me I had no restore points, which is frustrating. So I'm stuck, i can't go back to an earlier date, nor can I log in.

Anyway, my last option before buying a new printer is uninstalling and reinstaling my usb port. How do I know which port is which? Can it be the one called 'unknown port"?

View 7 Replies View RelatedMy computer had been shut down for a few days. When I came back and booted back up, I noticed that AVG was no longer running. I couldn't seem to get it to start, so I tried uninstalling it since I had the 2012 version anyway, so I could update to 2013 and hopefully fix the problem. Every time I try to uninstall, I get a BSOD. Every time I try to install the new version, I also get a BSOD.
I haven't installed anything new or added new hardware, so the only thing I can think of is the latest AVG update did something. The last new program I installed was Guild Wars 2, but that was weeks ago (with no issues). At first I thought maybe this was a virus, but it looks like this is a common issue? Files attached.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI had 32-bit Java already installed. I'm using Windows 7 64-bit, so I figured I should get the 64-bit version of Java. Long story short, after all kinds of problems with installing and uninstalling, I'm stuck. No traces of Java show up anywhere in the add/remove Programs menu, and I can't find any leftover files anywhere, not even in the registry. I've used several different programs (JavaRa, Windows Install Clean Up, Microsoft FixIt, Revo Uninstaller) to try to locate any leftover files, and it's now to the point where none of them can find anything. When I try to reinstall Java, I get a window saying "This software is already installed, do you want to reinstall it?", and if I click yes, an error window pops up saying "This action can only be used on software already installed", or something close to that.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI currently have an ASUS K53E that I've put a 60GB SSD into. I recently had to send out the laptop for service with ASUS, but I swapped the SSD for the original drive at that time (to save the chance they may re-format the drive).In any case, their repair apparently included a BIOS update... When I got the computer back, I naturally swapped the SSD back into the computer. Since then I've had numerous issues, the most prominent being that WLE stopped working (Every time I load Messenger it inexplicably stops working), and when I attempt to un-install it it will have a problem and abort the removal.With skype, I installed it fine, but it will launch, have a problem, then close! This is extremely frustrating..So really, my first thought is that there is a BIOS-update related issue, because the BIOS was flashed with the other drive in the laptop, and the installation on the SSD was installed/configured before the BIOS flash.Am I looking at a clean install of windows? Or could I get away with just a repair? I'd really prefer not to reinstall if I don't have to (Getting the OEM install on the SSD was hard enough in the first place).
