Doing some house cleaning. Before I delete some of these programs, which ones do I really need? Bonjour. I have iTunes, but no Mac. Don't think I knowingly ever used this program. Which of these MS Redistributables do I need?
View 7 RepliesThere are endless queries on the Internet about how to set the default email client to something other than Outlook or Windows Live. Got me to thinking there must be some app or instruction on how to manually place an entry in the Windows 7 Set Default Programs utility, since software developers can do it for apps like Skype, WinRar, PotPlayer, etc. If anybody has run across such a tool, let the community here know

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just went crazy as how strange issues my computer produced after I installed a program that uses Bonjour service by Apple (usually Adobe CS3 or iTunes). I tried to remove it following the posts I found around the net, but it just totally broke my system. So after a reinstall and some struggle I think I found what to do in what sequence to get Bonjour removed and the networking system fixed.
Some of the issues which happened frequently for me were:
No internet connection if you turn on your computer until you manually disable and enable your adapter. Strange behaviour during internet browsing: you have to refresh pages sometimes as they just not load for the first time, or click on a link twice as nothing happens for the first time. You have to connect multiple times to a FTP server, as nothing is happening for the first time. First you should download two programs and save or print this guide as your internet connection can go down after the first restart.
Download and run TurnOffBonjour.exe http://download.gizmoproject.com/jas...OffBonjour.exe Rename Program FilesBonjour folder to Bonjour.bak Download and run LSPFix.exe from http://www.cexx.org/LSPFix.exe You just need to click "Finish" and "OK" Restart your computer Write "netsh winsock reset" in the Start Menu/Run.. prompt. You might need to do it as admin. Restart your computer again. Now everything should work as it was originally, before Apple's evil Bonjour service turned everything upside down. You can delete or leave the Bonjour.bak folder if you like.
I have thoroughly deleted Apple's "Bonjour For Windows" application from my Windows 7 Home Premium PC because it simply would not work. It would not allow me to access or use my Canon MP530 printer which uses a USB connection to our desktop iMac. I tried to delete the "printers" created by Bonjour prior to uninstalling the software. That did not work. Now I cannot delete the printers after the software is thoroughly how I can get rid of these Bonjour-created printers from my Devices and Printers container? I suspect they are interfering with my ability to access and use the printer using a strictly Windows 7 configuration / setup (Which is NOT easy to establish. Contrary to Microsoft advertising, working through a network setup like we have is unclear, the printer is not discovered or discoverable, and the network administrator I'm supposed to check with is ME.)

View 3 Replies View RelatedHow to delete bonjour file and fix the network problems? Whenever I turn on my pc, I have to wait 1 minute then I have to pull out the Ethernet cable and then put it back in again for the internet to work, I think this is due to bonjour. Also, I think I got it from Photoshop cs3, and bonjour is not in the form of a program but a folder.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to downgrade from iTunes 10.5 to a version that doesn't crash (see my previous thread). However, whenever I do this, I cannot import my Library file (.itl) because it was created by a newer version of iTunes.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI use iTunes on my Windows 7 computer to sync with my iPhone, and the last time I went to open iTunes it gave me the error message "iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes."I had heard that if I uninstalled Quicktime (which is bundled with iTunes when that is downloaded), then reinstalled it separately, it would work again, but after trying that it didn't. So I decided to just uninstall iTunes, then reinstall it. However, every time I try to uninstall it in Add/Remove Programs, it just sits there saying it'll be about eight more seconds to go to finish deleting, but it just sits, and sits, and sits...... Nothing. I also tried to just install the newest iTunes on top of the existing one, but every time I try it tells me that it's already installed and to click "Ok." So I can't uninstall it, nor can I install it, nor will iTunes open on its own. I had done a system restore recently, so I don't know if that had anything to do with it.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've installed windows seven just before Christmas,and it served me well till middle of February,when "I had to explore it a bit more".And of course,I have deleted something and there was no way to boot win 7 up again.It booted correctly,but after"starting windowws" everything stopped.I tried to fix it,but no,and even worse,I was kind of short with space on C partition(cos me idiot,of course,made it just 30 gigs),and have turned off system restore.
Just for the record how smart I am,I made win 7(beta OS ?!?) my primary and only OS.
I had to save my files and didn't reformat C partition right away cos I planned to reformat it after I take the ownership and back up my documents.
So,I have installed windows seven again on E partition,which is now,after reassaining letters,C partition.And literally,now I'm having dual boot,both windows seven,one is working and one not.I have backed up my files a long time ago from now,but still didn't format that partition,and today I decided to do it.
And here is what I don't know.
When I created my C partition for Windows 7 first time,I got an extra 200Mb partition,but when I've installed Windows 7 second time on that "E"partition,I didn't have to make that 200Mb extra partition.
And now I wonder should I merge that 200Mbs with another partition and format them together,or do I have to leave it where it is?
I'm not sure,and I don't even know if another win 7 installation is using that 200Mb partition or not?
What should I do?
And one more thing,I have deleted windows folder from ex "C" partition couple weeks ago.
I have just done a clean install from vista to win 7 using a upgrade version of win 7 hp, following the tutorial off this site, but when doing the install it didn't ask me for the product key or if i wanted to activate win 7, any one else had this happen, do i need to do anything. When i look at system page it shows a product key that doesn't match the one in the box & there is a button that asks if i want to change the product key, it also states i have 30 days to activate win 7.

My impression is that it might be called upon to run features in a modern program. If so and it's not installed, will it call for it? I think in the past with Frameworks it doesn't prompt and takes research to find it's needed, unless the Program installs it itself.
