Can't Uninstall 9.0 Trial -- doesn't list in add/remove pgms

I've installed the trial version of Acrobat 9.0 and decided to uninstall it. However, it doesn't show in the add/remove programs list out of Control Panel. I'm running Win/XP SP3. Web searches have uncovered this program for Macs but not for Windows. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Okay, found the solution--I think. Fire up Acrobat, go to Help/Repair Acrobat Installation. After a LONG bit of disk-bashing, the process ends and Acrobat then shows up in the add/remove programs list.
I may just keep the program around a bit longer now, now that I'm not quite as paranoid about it as I was.
Ugh.

How do I uninstall a program that is not listed in add/remove?

Running Windows 7 Home Premium 32-64bit. Hp p6210f. Installed SIIG USB 2.0 video capture device. Program installed but did not work. Downloaded updated driver to my desktop. The following icons appeared on my desktop: Applications, DirectX9, Driver,atutorun, autorun,autorun, autorun.tgt and key. Have no idea what to do with these icons. Clicking on Autorun does not work. Reinserted the install CD to try and uninstall program but there was not uninstall listed. Also the program does not show in Add/Remove. The program is shown under Programs X86. I don't understand how to install the driver or how to use this program The program is listed as "Honestech VHS to DVD 3.0 SE". I would just like to get rid of this program. Can anyone tell me how?
Thank you,
Pauley

Hi,
If you are not able to uninstall the software in the usual way from Programs and Features, you could try a third party uninstaller such as the application detailed below.
Download and install the free version of Revo Uninstaller from the link below.
http://www.revouninstaller.com/download-freeware-version.php
Run revo and see if this detects the installation. If it does, right click on the icon of the program you wish to remove and select Uninstall. During the process you may be asked to delete registry entries, just select all and then click delete. Do the same for any left-over files and folders. Once the uninstall has completed, restart the notebook.
Regards,
DP-K

Have Windows XP, tried 4.0 beta but want to revert back to 3.6 so downloaded 3.6, now can't uninstall 4.0 as it is not listed in add/remove programs?

Only 3.6 is now listed in add/remove programs, so how do I uninstall 4.0?

There are several video download applications that work on Firefox 4, for example:
* Video DownloadHelper - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/video-downloadhelper
* Easy YouTube Video Downloader - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/easy-youtube-video-downl-10137
* Flash Video Downloader (Youtube Downloader) - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/flash-video-downloader-youtube
Are there any other add-ons that you particularly want in Firefox 4? There may be updates to them or alternatives.
To downgrade to Firefox 3.6.* you can uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install Firefox 3.6.* available from http://www.mozilla.com - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

Can I uninstall and install without loosing play lists

Can I uninstall and install without loosing play lists

Your iTunes folder (normally under ~/Music/iTunes) contains files that tell iTunes what you have in your library, playlists, genres, ...These database files have extensions of .itl and .xml. Deeper in the iTunes folder you have the actual media (movies, songs, tv shows).
Uninstalling iTunes and then reinstalling iTunes should not impact your iTunes library. It will change iTunes settings like window size, if you have the sidebar turned on, and the like. I do recommend you have a backup of your iTunes folder but at least save copies of your .itl and .xml files.
Your question is a bit cryptic so I'm guessing at your actual question. Good luck.

Acrobat 9.2.0 MSP doesn't display in add/remove programs

I installed the Acrobat 9.2 MSP and it shows successful installation but it doesn't show Acrobat 9.2.0 in add/remove programs. It still shows Acrobat 9.0.0. Any reason why this would do this?

Okay, found the solution--I think. Fire up Acrobat, go to Help/Repair Acrobat Installation. After a LONG bit of disk-bashing, the process ends and Acrobat then shows up in the add/remove programs list.

How do I uninstall firefox when I cannot find it in 'add/remove program'

I am trying to uninstall firefox from my window 7 notebook but I cannot find it under 'add/remove program' in control panel. I have come across suggestion to delete the Mozilla firefox folder from program x86 but I worry that this method may create problem by leaving orphans in the registry.

The uninstall instructions are here
* [[Uninstall Firefox from your computer]]
You appear not to be posting from Firefox and so I wonder have you already uninstalled it ?
Uninstalling, gives you an option to leave behind personal information. If you will never use Firefox again you may not need that and the Firefox profile may be deleted. Possibly the profile folder is what you are seeing. Note the profile contains your Firefox bookmarks and normally if uninstalling Firefox you may wish to first of all export those as HTML that may be used elsewhere as bookmarks / favourites.
* [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data]]
* [[Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks]]

Can't uninstall the tryout (trial) version of Adobe Audition 3

I have downloaded the trial version of Audition 3 from the official website. Then after a month I would like to uninstall it (to install the commercial version) but the uninstallation programme hangs when I click continue. The uninstallation programme is found in Control Panel (as there's no shortcut nor programme for uninstallation in the C-drive Adobe directory) and my current OS is Vista Home Premium. Could anyone help? Many thanks!

I can't help directly - I don't use Vista because it sucks, but in principle you are doing the correct thing. What I can tell you though, is that if you are effectively having an installation (well, a re-installation) problem, then you are entitled to free telephone support from Adobe - they cover that.

Can't uninstall CS3 Flash Trial

I installed the CS3 Flash Trial to check it out, as one does.
I now want to uninstall it halfway through the trial. Unfortunately
when I choose Flash CS3 in my "add or remove items" panel this
Adobe created installer comes up. With this installer I can remove
components but not the program itself. ARH. Does anyone know how I
can do this? Am I missing something here?

Can't uninstall InDesign CS3 trial version

Trying to install CS3 Suite but window says InDesign is already installed. All other programs in Suite install and work fine. No option to install or remove InDesign. Tried dumping InD into trash. Still says program is already installed. Please help. Thanks

I had the same issue. Removed my trial version and still couldn't get CS3 to install InDesign. It kept saying "already installed" and wouldn't even give me the option to uninstall. I trashed my trial installer long ago, but I did some snooping and found that adobe stashes the installer files in your applications support folder. So before you run a CS3clean script, try this easy alternative:
OSX (or whatever your root folder is called) > Library > Application Support > Adobe>Installers> ...now look for the InDesign installer file.
Make sure you're at your in the "Library" folder on your mac's root folder, and not your user folder. The installer files are all letters and numbers, so you'll have to look inside each folder to find the InDesign installer. You'll know it by the purple icon. (You'll probably also see a folder with a CS3 icon and folders for any other stand alone Adobe products in there, too.)
So double click on the InDesign icon and it will take you to the install/uninstall/re-install options for InDesign only. Follow the prompts and viola! It's gone. Now go back to your CS3 disk/download and install the InDesign that came with CS3 and all will be well.

Error 42408 with iTunes 10.3 and can't Uninstall?

I can't buy music, play purchased downloads or authorise my computer. I have tried all of the methods posted here, such ejecting and reconnecting iPod, replacing the shortcut, rebooting my laptop, closing and reopening itunes, logging in and out again of my itunes account, removing SC info folder and the .plist files/version without extension and I am at my wits end with this.
The only thing I haven't tried is reinstalling because I can't uninstall iTunes and the change/repair options in add/remove hardware don't work either. I left it for hours trying to uninstall and it stuck on "preparing to remove."
I have Windows Vista 32 bit and am in the administrators account, if that is any help.

On the contrary, the stuff that is on it gives the history of the issues with which you are dealing, and makes it easy for responders to make suggestions. Be sure you provide information requested by responders, so that their suggestions will be pertinent. I will take a look at the thread again and see if I have any suggestions to offer.
Good luck.

How can I uninstall Symantec VIP Access Client?

Hi,
Soon after getting my new Thinkpad E520 (W7 Home Premium), I uninstalled Norton Antivirus Trial and installed Microsoft Security Essentials.
But there remains in the Program Files (x86) Folder a Symantec/VIP Access Client program that pops up request for updates.
It doesn't show in Add/Remove programs. I would like to know what this program is supposed to do.
After searching on the web, I downloaded and ran Norton Removal Tool, but VIP Access Client is still there.
Of course, I could trash the folder and scan the registry to delete as many entries as I can, but I would like to find a more elegant solution ;-)
Solved!

Can't uninstall adobe flash

I am trying to install Roxio Creator on my computer and get an error message that indicates a problem with adobe flash, so I tried to update flash and that installation fails as well because it says that a newer version is already installed (it's not the newest version...it's 11.6.602.180). So I tried the adobe flash uninstaller and it uninstalls my firefox flash but not the one for IE. The uninstaller appears to work, but when I test the version using IE, it still shows 11.6.602.180. There is nothing listed in add/remove programs, so I am lost as to how to uninstall it so that I can install the current version.
IE is version 10.0.9200.16519
I am running Windows 8 64-bit and it appears that the IE version of flash is the problem. Rebooting between the unistall and reinstall has no effect. I have also tried to boot into safe mode to remove and reinstall, but the same issues as above. I have tried to uninstall/install by right clicking the files and running as administrator but that doesn't help either. I have also tried to disable all startup items in msconfig as well as using task manager's startup page. I have also tried disabling all add--ons in IE.
Any other suggestions?

Hi,
Flash Player updates for Internet Explorer on Windows 8 will be provided by Microsoft though the Windows automatic update feature.
In the list of updates, you will need to choose " udate for internet explorer flash player for windows 8 "
It will install flash player 11.7 for IE 10.

ITunes 11.1.4 error download and I can't uninstall it neither

Hello,
Like many of you, I can't download iTunes 11.1.4. It says "error 7" and "error R6034". (Even if I ignore those messages.)
I looked at a lot of posts on the web, and it suggested to uninstall everything about Apple on the computer, iTunes first. The thing is, I can't uninstall it, my PC doesn't want to. I don't understand why.
I tried to update iTunes again and again, but it is the same... Maybe Apple will make a new update soon, because there is a lot of problems with this one (11.1.4), I don't know, but it is annoying... Thank you for your help !
Ps. Sorry if my English isn't perfect, I'm French

Upgraded to CS4, but can't uninstall CS3

I installed CS4, and then successfully uninstalled CS3 (both versions as full Creative Suites). I realized, though, that I hadn't saved the actions I had created in PS CS3, so I reinstalled PS CS3 (and found the PS CS3 Actions Palette.psp file, which had my custom actions, from a backup I had made). I exported the custom actions to .atn files, and then imported them into CS4. So far, so good. But... Now I can't uninstall CS3! It doesn't show up in my "Add or Remove Programs" dialog (either as the full Creative Suite, or as the individual component programs).
I suppose I might be able to solve this by completely uninstalling CS4, which would leave only PS CS3 (and a few other of the CS3 programs, which were also reinstalled) -- and then maybe it would show up in Add or Remove Programs. (And then I could -- I hope -- uninstall CS3, and reinstall CS4.) But if someone has a simpler solution, I'd greatly appreciate hearing it!
To summarize the key actions, here's what I did:
- Already had Creative Suite CS3 installed
- Installed Creative Suite CS4
- Uninstalled Creative Suite CS3
- Reinstalled PS CS3 and a couple other CS3 programs
- Exported some files I needed from CS3, and imported them into CS4
- Now I can't uninstall CS3
Thanks,
Steve

You have created a fairly unusual situation!
I would first try runnning the CS3 Clean Script to see if that can remove it without damaging the CS4 installation. It may not.
Otherwise I can only think of:
Un-install CS4 normally
Run CS4 clean script, a couple of times if necessary.
http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs4clean.html
It should also detect CS3 remnants , if not run CS3 clean script.
http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs3clean.html
Manually remove any Adobe folders remaining – they may be in more places than C:\Program files!
Run a good registry cleaner like CCleaner.
Start again with a fresh installation.
