May 8, 2005I can't seem to get rid of the remnants some Nokia programs that my son installed on the PC.
They wouldn't uninstall using the conventional method so I just deleted the folders and used Registry Medic to clean up the mess.
The only thing left is in the add/remove programs list.
I have gone in the registry and in the 'uninstall section' removed all things 'Nokia' but still they remain.

Jun 12, 2009We had a virus. We believe Norton cleaned it. Now, it seems as though many Windows components are gone. The backup we did with Norton most recently won't work to restore. We don't have the original discs that came with computer -- we didn't know that we should have paid Best Buy extra to get them. I can't seem to find anything on the Microsoft site to help. I'm running Windows XP Media Center edition Version 2002 SP3

This tinkering cased another alteration: right mouse click on Start|Explore(and Explore All Users) no longer shows all drives (and their directories & sub-folders) on one screen. Now only one drive (with directories & sub-folders) is shown at a time.

Feb 18, 2010I just stumbled on this website while looking for a solution to my problem with Norton Ghost. Another problem that I am having is: When I go to add/remove programs, there are NO programs. The message says to wait while the list is being populated but nothing ever shows up. From what I have read, it sounds like a registry problem but I don't have a clue how to fix it. Microsoft's answer is way over my head. I tried registry mechanic but that didn't help.

Dec 3, 2008I have tried previously to uninstall my HP Officejet G85 printer from HP Pavilion a1130n running XP Media. There is no Change/Remove button in Add/Remove Programs but the program is there, 150 MB, and the file suggested on the HP website for uninstalling older printers from XP produces a message that it's "unsupported" can't remember exact verbiage, been a while since last tried. Even reinstalled in the hopes that a message would come up to the effect "this program is already installed, do you want install to remove it prior to completing this install," but it just installs the printer again with a number after it ... I'm up to "hp officejet g series - 3."
