Can't uninstall Creative Suite after system restore

I recently performed a system restore on my windows 8 machine. This brought back my creative suite 5 which i previously uninstalled. Now I can't remove it because the uninstaller seems to be having problems. It wont show me any of the items to uninstall, hence, I cant remove any of the products from the bundle. Is there any other way to uninstall the product? thanks!

The uninstaller might have gone corrupt due to the files missing. Run the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool: http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html and remove the files from there.
Once removed, delete the temporary files(Run->%temp%) and empty the Recycle Bin as well.
Check if that helps.

How can I uninstall Creative Suite 5.5

I'm trying to uninstall Creative Suite 5.5 but am getting an error message: Installer failed to initialize. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem. When I do so I get a message that the Adobe Support Advisor has been discontinued. Please help! (uninstalling a program should never be this complicated!)
Many thanks.

If you have problems uninstalling, try using the Adobe Cleaner tool:

Please Help. I can't uninstall Creative Suite 1.1

Hi,
I'm trying to uninstall Adobe Creative Suite through Programs and Features in Windows Vista, but everytime I try to uninstall it, I get an error right after I double click on the Adobe Creative Suite to unistall it. This is the error that comes up immediately.
"Adobe Creative Suite Installer 1.1 has stopped working"
"A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
The Creative suite was bought years ago throug Adobe. I've removed everything else adobe in the uninstall program, but can't uninstall this Creative Suite. Is there another option for removing it? Do I need to manually remove the folders and registry entries? If so, does anyone have any info they could give me to help?
Thanks! And again, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Michael,
Sorry, I should have mentioned that I did try using the Microsoft Installer Clean Up tool but once it was installed, I did not see anything with Adobe in there. The Adobe Creative Suite file does still show up in the uninstall programs screen. Also, I did check the adobe file folder and the program files are there and have not been deleted or uninstalled.
Anyone else have any other ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Can't run some programs after system restore to remove virus

Hi,
My duaghter's Toshiba had a nasty virus that pretended to be an antivirus software product, that snuck in, between the time her default Norton service expired and I had the time to install Trend.
Could not remove it using Trend, so upon advice from a friend, decided to do a windows system restore to a point prior to the infection. This worked successfully, and the virus is gone, but now she can't run some programs, I have tried to install Trend again, but that fails as it says that you have to uninstall Norton first. But I can't run Norton, or uninstall it, and some folders on C: are no longer accessible.
Should I do a complete Toshiba system restore (ie back tofactory settings? This seems a drastic measure, but the issue is beyond my meagre PC skills.
Thanks,
Graeme

Thanks for your reply.
The main issue is that we cannot run the Norton Anitvirus that came prepackaged with the laptop, and we can't uninstall it either. If you try to perform either action, nothing happens.
However, when we try to install a new antivirus software, Trend, the install fails because it detects that Norton is installed, and indicates that we must uninstall Norton before we can complete the Trend installation. But we cannot unistall Norton for some reason.
I am getting my daughter to check what else doesn't work, but Microsoft Office works OK, and most of the games she installed seem to work. I just don't understand why Norton won't work now, and why we cannot uninstall it. I don't know if its due solely to the system restore, or some combination of events. The introductory 3 mont Norton licence has expired some time ago, but it should still let us uninstall. I have also tried to unistall through the Control panel, but nothing happens when I try that either.
Is there any way to force the uninstall of Norton? Or is a factory reset the only viable option now?
Thanks,
Graeme

Can anyone help Me? After system Restore

I have a H215 Desktop running Win7 and never got any CD discs with this PC
I had to do a System restore useing Lenovo Rescue (hiddin partion)
and of course now MS Office wants my license Key for my office suite
Is there anyway to find this key? or can it be read off the ODM?
Please help I do not wish to have to pay MS for something this PC came with

hi robathome,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
Sorry to hear what happened
I tried checking your computer's reference here.
It seemed that your computer was originally configured to have a trial MS Office 2010.
Your computer came with an Office Software 2010 but the Product Key has to be purchased.
If you have purchased a product key before through Lenovo then it should came with a card with a Product key on it or check the receipt you got from this computer You should have an MS Office on the receipt since its a separate purchased from Lenovo.
-Or-
if the computer was purchased from Retailers I would say check it with them about the Office that you used before.
Hope this helps,

How can I reinstall Photoshop CS6l after system restore

I downloaded and installed the trial version of CS6 a few days ago and everything was working wonderfully. Yesterday, some adware found its way through my firewall and installed itself on my system. The only restore point I had available predated the CS6 installation, and after the system recovered, PhotoShop was gone. I attempted to install it again to continue the trial, but got an error that directed me to a site that is no longer maintained by Adobe. How can I fix this? I'm sure the time limit on the trial hasn't stopped counting down, but I'm unable to install and check out the software. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

you're probably out of luck and cannot resume your trial.
however, you can download a trial and test your luck,

After system restore i reinstalled firefox, how to get back bookmarks etc with old firefox data?

After system restore the only thing i have is old firefox data on desktop if all bookmarks, passwords are recovered it will be great help.
P.S
i reinstall firefox from drive other than c ,that was in downloaded form.
Thanks

The "Old Firefox Data" folder on the desktop has been created as the consequence of resetting Firefox.
Doing a Session Restore may have reverted the profiles.ini file to a previous version that hasn't registered the new profile folder that a reset had created, so you may need to check for this.
* C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\
The "Application Data" folder in XP/Win2K and the "AppData" folder in Windows Vista and Windows 7 and later versions are hidden folders.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
If you have a profile folder that is more recent than the "Old Firefox Data" on the desktop then you can use edit the profiles.ini file and change the path of the currently default profile to the name of the profile folder as you find in Document and Settings.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Recovering_a_missing_profile

It is always best to be cautious with using System Restore as this can cause some file to be replaced with older copies, i.e. your Firefox installation and profile folder can get inconsistent and you may have to reinstall Firefox as well.

hi Jain,
you may need to check the transfer structures,
right click infosource and 'change', click 'comm.structure'/expand,
click 'transfer', move the 0BASE_UOM from left to right side,
or if you wont use the comm structure anymore, you can right click infosource and 'delete comm structure'
hope this helps.

How to recover hp pre-installed games and office after system restore for HP Mini 210-4127se?

how to recover hp pre-installed games and office after system restore for HP Mini 210-4127se?

Hi,
You can reinstall them from Recovery Manager by clicking on Start=> All Programs.
If you have performed a complete HP Recovery using F11 then all the software should be there. If you have performed a minimized recovery then you can install applications from recovery manager...If none of these works then you'll need USB recovery..
Here are the links that will guide you through the process:
Using Recovery Manager to Restore Software and Drivers (Windows 7)
Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 7)
Order USB Recovery
Note:
If you have HP Support Assistant installed on the computer(The Blue Question Mark) then open it ==> Complete all pending Updates & Tuneups==> Restart and Check. It may solve your problem
Although I am an HP employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP.
