Cannot uninstall Optia Pro driver

Suddenly, my optia pro stopped working. So I tried a reinstall:
Runnning Vista SP2
I can uninstall everything except the driver. In Programs/Features nothing happens - the icon is blank btw. Uninstalling via device manager makes no difference.
If I try a reinstall, I get the following:
The existing or installed driver is the same or newer than the source driver. The installed driver version is 1.03.03.00. Do you still want to proceed with the driver setup?
Click OK
An error encountered during installation. Do you still want to proceed to install?
Click Yes
Setup complete - restart for changes to take effect
Vista device driver driver window shows one optia pro failed and a second Ready to use
And the story remains the same - zip. I do however get the microphone working.
If anyone can help here, please let me know. I've tried all sorts so far and with no success. Somehow, there is a driver hanging around somewhere.

My parents have been having problems with their new Live Cam Optia pro HD where by everytime they used it the avatar of the cat was launched even if it was turned off. So I set about uninstalling everything.. only to find like the guys above that the drivers fail to uninstall either through the control panel, via a creative upgrade or by downloading new drivers and letting them do the uninstall.
Device manager reports the camera there but no drivers installed. The software when running says no camera connected. But when you try to do a reinstall or uninstall the system reports it cant do it.
Help!!! We now have an expensive webcam that doesnt work!

  • Cannot uninstall Premiere Pro CC after system restore

    I uninstalled Premeire Pro CC last week. Shortly after, my computer had a bug that wouldn't allow me to restart without restoring myPC to an earlier point. This re-installed Premeire, but now I can't uninstall it. I get this message: Uninstall failed. Your uninstallation encountered errors.(No error number is given.)
    Running Windows 7 on an HP Pavilion g series laptop.
    I never use this program and it's slowing down my computer. Tips?

    Run the cleaner script, reinstall and then uninstall. Won't fix your problem, though. Programs that are not launched do not consume any processing power or memory. Your slowdown has another cause, which could by all means be the mess that triggered the system restore in teh first place - flakey drivers, incompatible apps, misbehaving security tools or simple lack of overall "juice" on your system.

  • Cannot uninstall Premiere pro.

    I have tried to uninstall Adobe Premiere Pro, as I need to re-install it  because something stopped working on it.
    I go to my control panel, uninstall a program and chose to uninstall Premiere Pro.  It keeps telling me
    "Uninstall Failed.
    Your uninstallation encountered errors. 
    Troubleshooting tips:
    1. Restart your computer (I did this a few times already).
    2. Exit all applications including startup items, virus checking firewall and software.(Nothing of Adobe is running)
    3. Uninstall again  (Didn't get to uninstiall in the first place.  Still won't uninstall)
    You may also download and run the Cleaner Tool ( which I tried to do, it STILL won't uninstall). If the problem still persists, contact customer support for further assistance."
    I have tried to contact customer support, but it won't let me get in contact with a person! It takes me here, to the forums.
    Can someone PLEASE help me figure out how to uninstall this!

  • Cannot uninstall Premiere Pro 2.0

    I use a Windows Vista and I downloaded Premier 2.0 when I saw that it was free. (Thank you very much Adobe) I downloaded the files and installed it, but when I went to start up the program I get an error message that says, "Registration information is invalid. Please reinstall Adobe Premier Pro." So, I thought I would uninstall it and try re-installing it to try and re-enter the serial number again, but when I try to uninstall the program I keep getting an error message that says the process has been interrupted.
    I do not know what to do.

  • Cannot Uninstall X-FI driv

    this Started a Few weeks ago, since my creative console launcher stopped working. i try to uninstall the sound card in the add/ remove programs, but it simply crashes when i click remove on it. it says it has encountered a problem and cannot recover as soon i as click it. is there any way to manually uninstall the sound card and software?

    My suggestion would to go on-line and get DriverCleanerPro and it wil help you rid yourself of unwanted drivers... apparently it is one of the only things that will rid you of some of that stuff but if the other suggestion worked then good I might write it down or print it for myself :smileyvery-happy:?

  • Satellite Pro 6000: Cannot find correct WLAN driver

    Hi,
    I have re-installed Windows Xp on my notebook Satellite Pro 6000. All is working except for the wireless connectivity.
    When looking in the device manager, I see that the WLAN driver has not (or incorrectly) been installed.
    So looked at the Toshiba site for the corresponding drivers, but I am not able to find the correct one. I did found some drivers, which seems to be the one, but unfortunately after installing the drivers, the wireless connectivity is still not available.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards, Robert

    Hi
    I dont believe that you cannot install the Wlan driver.
    Go to the device manger and find out which Wlan card was installed. (check properties)
    If the WLan card is placed under network adapters so the driver was installed properly.
    But if you see a unknown device in device manager so you need the WLan driver.
    Then download the WLan driver from the Toshiba site. Be sure that you use the right driver for the right OS!
    You can try firstly to uninstall the old driver and then to install the new one.

    Cannot uninstall cs6 bad hard drive, any suggestions?
    THank you

    Thank you for the Adobe contact. They connected me to the chat link and the Adobe tech Support rep sent me a License Recovery download link (attached) http://download.macromedia.com/pub/support/tools/LicenseRecovery111.dmg.
    I have 10.10.1 Yosemite. When I open the download folder and click on the LicenseRecovery.app it shows up on the dock but it nothing happens. I cannot quit the app only Force Quit. I have restarted the mac and that did't help.
    Adobe chat suggested I uninstall CS5.5/6 and re-install but why would that have anything to do with the app opening?
    Any suggestion is greatly appreciated, again.
    Thank you

    Hi PSYCHSON,
    Rerun the Installation program for Network Magic. It should give you options for Repair or Remove.
    If it does not, then simply reinstall overtop the existing installation. Reboot and go back to Add or Remove Programs and remove it.

  • Installed incorrect coreAudio driver and cannot uninstall

    I've done something very stupid... I was misinformed by a friend and installed COREaudio driver v8.03 on my 2.9GHZ macbook pro with 10.8.2 Mountain Lion. I installed COREaudio v8.03 and now Ableton live does not pick up midi signals and every time I open Ableton, I get a message telling me that "Required software extensions are missing" and clicking ok redirects me to an anti piracy website called www.paceap.com but from what I've read, Pace is essentially a nasty piece of malware disguised as anti piracy software and I have no desire to install this.
    The obvious soloution would be just to uninstall the COREaudio driver, but I can't figure out how.  There is no uninstaller and the audio folder in library which should contain the COREaudio files is empty with the exception of a folder named 'Digidesign' but my mac won't let me delete it as it is a required file.
    Any help as to how to either uninstall this version, revert back to the built in COREaudio driver that came with my mac or even a different driver that would work would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

    I have no way of knowing what you did, but you can either restore from the backup you made before wrecking your system, or do a clean reinstallation of OS X.
    Back up all data to at least two different storage devices, if you haven't already done so. The backups can be made with Time Machine or with a mirroring tool such as Carbon Copy Cloner. Preferably both.
    Boot into Recovery (command-R at startup), launch Disk Utility, and erase the startup volume with the default options.This operation will destroy all data on the volume, so you had be better be sure of your backups. Quit Disk Utility and install OS X. When you reboot, you'll be prompted to go through the initial setup process. That’s when you transfer the data from one of your backups. For details of how this works, see here:
    Using Setup Assistant
    Transfer only "Users" and "Settings" – not "Applications" or "Other files." Don't transfer the Guest account, if it was enabled on the old system.
    Reinstall your third-party software cautiously. Self-contained applications that install into the Applications folder by drag-and-drop or download from the App Store are safe. Anything that comes packaged as an installer or that prompts for an administrator password is suspect, and you must test thoroughly after reinstalling each such item to make sure you haven't restored the problem.
    Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with networks that require any kind of authentication other than a WPA or WPA2 Personal password.

  • Cannot uninstall Adobe Acrobat XI Pro: Help Please

    Cannot uninstall Adobe Acrobat XI Pro.  Gone to programs and tried to uninstall then message says it is going to do it. Then message prompts come up asking if it can update my software. If I say no action it stops uninstalling. Then if I say yes it goes no further either.
    Regret every taken up the trial offer for this programme as I tried using it and message repeatedly appears saying "Acrobat failed to send a DDE command".
    Please can someone offer some advice. Thank you.

    Try launching acrobat in safe mode, to do so follow the steps:
    a.       Press and hold down shift and double click the acrobat icon and then open a pdf file.
    b.      If it opens without crashing after about 15 seconds, then you have a faulty plug in, locate and remove it from your plug-ins folder.
    c.       To remove plug-ins, you may contact Acrobat Support

  • Had a hard drive crash - iTunes folder is compromised.  I cannot uninstall what's left or update from 11.0.1.12 - message is it can't locate iTunes64.msi   HELP!!!

    Problem locating iTunes64.msi on Windows 7 64-bit machine.  Can anyone help me?????
    Last version worked fine until hard drive crashed.  Have tried a clean boot - nothing, same problem.  I've deleted temp files, nothing.  Saw another comment that Apple Support genius provided files needed for version they had problem with - once received, they coulld remove (uninstall) old version and update to current version.  I only wish it will be that easy. 

    There is no numerical error number, only a message which I'm including below.  The file iTunes64.msi is not on my computer - so I cannot uninstall the old version noted above - or update it.  There are 189 files left in the folder that appears in the Control Panel.  I cannot uninstall, change or repair it - nor can I remove the folder from the Control Panel.  I believe I've already deleted the folders shown in my program listing - which probably eliminated all my music.
    The hard drive crash has caused several programs to fail such as this, I'm just trying to get my laptop operational with the software or apps I had used previously.
