HotFix With KB925901 - Delete / Uninstall
Nov 4, 2007
i have an XP SP2 pro OS. A couple of days ago i updated it and now a prob surfed with this KB925902 when i tried to install the Vista transformation pack V7. it also gave me a link to a thread in a forum where they discuss how to fix this problem through hacking a dll something. Dont know if any of you guys know about it or had encountered it before. anyways, i didnt save this tut, and now that i wanted to do something about this prob i tried to visit this thread again, but i am faced with a prob. The internet explorer will have to close everytime i go to this thread. Why you guys? so far its only on this link.
what should i do to fix this prob? i did follow a few links here and there on forums and finally i installed the XP-KB935448-X86-ENU.exe which is supposed to sort this prob out (well at least that is what i understood). The prob is still out there. When i tried to un-install this KB925902, a message popped out and said something in the lines of "other KBs and applications might not work properly if you delete / un-install this item". So i halted the remove process, and found my way to here.

Is it safe to delete the hotfix uninstallers through ccleaner? I did a google search and people were talking about ccleaner deleting a folder that shouldn't be deleted along with the hotfix uninstallers when the option to do so is ticked. Is there a better - safer - way to do this?

How to delete a program that won't uninstall through the add or remove programs in the control panel.
Step # 1.Go to this site and download Microsofts uninstaller and run it and if the program you want to get rid of is on the list select it and remove from your computer.
Step # 2. Click on start , click on run, type regedit, and when it opens click on HKey local machine, Software, Microsoft, Windows, Current Version, click on the plus sign for uninstall and it opens all the programs installed on your computer , scroll and see if the program you want to get rid of is on the listif it is right click on it and delete it.
Step # 3. Click on start, click on run, type msconfig, and when it opens click on BOOT.INI and check the box that says, SAFE MODE. Boot the computer to safe mode and when it opens click on DRIVE C and click on program files and click on the folder of the program you want to delete from your computer and delete it. Then click on the common files folder and see if it is in there and if it is delete it. Important now, go back to click on start, click on run, type msconfig, and when it opens click on BOOT.INI and uncheck the box that says, SAFE MODE or you will boot to safe mode again.Once I remembered doing all the above steps and it still started up so I ran hijackthis and deleted the entries and it was gone for good.

When you uninstall, or in the add/remove program delete, do all the items of the program uninstall. Especially the drivers, I am having a small problem on the computer and I know its due to an unapproved windows driver installed by accident for my sandisk reader. How can you find out the drivers installed on your computer?

I run Windows XP Home, SP 2, with all patches and upgrades through the latest MS Update. I use an HP Pavilion Desktop. I have extensive realtime spyware/antivirus protection and scan daily for viruses and spyware. I think the machine is clean. I have used a 3rd party uninstaller program for about 8 months. It will detect 9 invalid uninstall entries--they are Registry Keys

Have uninstalled Mobile Phone Tools for Motorla as it wasnt working properly. I have cleaned out everything except there are a few Motorola Modem entries in the registry that wont go. Do I need to get rid of these before I re-install? I want the comp to detect the phone as new hardware. If I need to remove the entries how can I do it when it tells me no?

I'm trying to obtain the Hotfix described here, but it says I need to contact Microsoft to obtain it. However when I try to generate a support request it says they can't help as my version of Windows was supplied with my PC. All I want is the Hotfix, I don't need to speak to a rep - why don't they just provide it for download on the website?

After installing some recent updates from microsoft my computer restarts on it's own. After I disabled the automatic restart on failure feature I noticed the 0x0000008e error. The computer does this on every reboot. I have to restore the computer to before the updates are installed and then it works perfect. I am not about to be charged 35 bucks for a phone call if they are not going to help me. This error only happens after the latest updates. I'm about 20 security updates behind now and I can't update with out the error. Someone please help, I do not want to do a wipe and reload if I'm not sure it is going to fix it. My computer is free of viruses, spyware, malware trojans etc.

The error described in KB899527 is currently effecting me. The article says that Microsoft has a hotfix for the problem and that I only need to contact
Microsoft tech support to get it. Because my Dell computer came with XP Professional instead of me buying Windows separately, I can't contact Microsoft's support to get the hotfix without paying $35. Is there any way to get the hotfix described in KB899527 without paying the $35 fee to contact Microsoft's support department?

I have been trying to install the unauthorized WMF hotfix patch but keep getting that my system is not compatible with it. Once it said there was a problem with the windows installer package. I have Windows XP home. I used to have Service Pack 2 but removed it because of errors I was getting. Since removing it back in November, I have had no more errors. I now only have Service Pack 1. I do, however, still have some Service Pack 2 updates installed. I don't know why it says my system is not compatible with the patch. I did unregister the picture & fax viewer as suggested by Microsoft.

Just done a (belarc) analysis of PC and found that a security hotfix for the .NET framework is missing - item Q886903. It explains a lot as to why it won't work properly for me, but the question is: How do I get hold of it and install it? I've been all over the MS sites and can find lots of data,info etc, but nowhere to click on to download it.

I have a very large, corrupt disc image on my hard drive that I want to delete, but every time I try to delete it Windows displays the message "Cannot delete 'filename': it is being used by another person or program. Close any programs that might be using the file and try again." The disc image is not mounted with any program, and hasn't been for some time. I tried aborting random processes that I thought might have something to do with the file, as well as restarting. No matter what I do, there seems to be something using the file. Are there any tricks to getting around this so I can delete it? Can I check, somehow, to see what program is using it?

When I start up whether in SAFE Mode or Normal I automatically get the Confirm Delete Message. This applies to programs, icons, photos, documents , folders etc - I cannot get to any of my work to back it up. I have tried Stinger -F-Force and W32.Blackmal@mm Removal Tools. Ran a full AVG scan with uptodate anti virus and Adaware Spyware. Sorry forgot to mention other things tried. The Pop up message does not appear in the Task Manger either as applications or processes. Each time you respongd NO to negate the delete it pops up again. There is no way I can get to any of my folders or files to burn to a CD as backup without the Confirm Delete message.

I am attempting to clean out my temp files on my Windows XP Home. The files and folders that I am addressing are: C:WINDOWSTEMP*.* *.OLD *.CHK *.BAK ~*.* _*.* and MSCREATE.DIRI have managed to clean all but one, which is _*.* When I run the search, I get the result of 144 files. I click on edit, select all, then file, delete. I receive the following error "cannot delete file: Cannot read the source file or disk" (please view screen shot). When I right click, I have no delete option, just "open containing folder, copy, and extract. (please view screen shot). I have run AdAware, Spybot, Ewido, and Avg Free. I also have CCleaner, Easy Clean which I have run. I have also used "Move On Boot" by putting the file path in the MOB window and try to have MOB delete the file. MOB says the file will be removed on the next boot.

I installed the SP3 today and have been kicking myself since then. I didn't even follow advice I was giving others to wait. I set a restore point before I installed it and went into Safe Mode to restore to that setting. When I checked on my Add/Remove Programs file it states the SP3 Cannot be Removed. I have read here in a few threads that some people have uninstalled it. I don't know of anyother way other than AddRemove programs. I hope I don't have to reformat. What happened was that my computer would start to boot up and hang, then I got it to boot up as far as desktopand then it will just hang.
