Cant seem to delete OracleXE and reinstall.

My OracleXE has a lot of problems.
Sometimes it couldnt connect to the server, and cannot display the appropriate pages, and today i couldnt even run the home page.
i decided to delete the program and re-install.
And there is this error message, "the install cannot proceed as service OracleXEService is present on the system. Remove the service, reboot the computer and retry the installation".
Does anyone knows how to remove the service so that i can install successfully? This is urgent. Thanks.

You should perform deinstall actions using the regular add/remove programs utility from the windows control panel. If you didn't do that, then several entries at the regedit have been left behind and you should get rid of them manually.
Look for the entry named the same as your service entry in your windows services console and purge them. Be careful, you are dealing with regedit and you don't want to leave your windows in a zombie status.
Once you have performed a clean deinstall, reinstall your XE and feedback, there are several troubleshooting guides for XE.

    You seem to be running the latest Firefox 9.0.1 version according to the user agent in your system details list:
    *Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:9.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/9.0.1
    Do a clean (re)install and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 9.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

    Does the regular Firefox 8 release version work or does the version crash as well?

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • TS1717 my itunes wont open , any advice to get it to open ? ive already tried deleting it and reinstalling but nothing seems to work.

    my itunes wont open, please help. ive already tried deleting it and reinstalling it but nothing seems to work.

    Yes there is.  You apparently have Hardware damage inside the iPhone from dropping it.  You would need to take it into an Apple Store and Pay for an exchange unit, which Apple will do; Apple's Warranty does NOT include replacement for "accidental damage", so the Exchange is not free.

  • HT4993 Everytime i plug my phone into itunes it says it cant connect because the phone is locked well i restored my phone twice and set a new passcode the last time and it still wont work . I even deleted itunes and reinstalled it , it dosent work . HELP

    Everytime i plug my phone into itunes it says it cant connect because the phone is locked well i restored my phone twice and set a new passcode the last time and it still wont work . I even deleted itunes and reinstalled it , it dosent work . HELP PLZ !!

    I had the same issue. I tried everything unchecking / rechecking, formatting Iphone and restoring from backup etc etc.
    In the end it was a simple issue which might of might not help you.
    A number of months ago I relocated by Itunes folder to a NAS drive. It appears when I did the last I tunes update Itunes set the destination path of the Itunes media to the default location, the result was Itunes couldn't install music,apps, video until I set the correct destination path.
    The bit that confused me was it was transferring some media. This was of course the media I had downloaded since the last Itunes update which had gone to the default location.
    I hope that makes sense and is off some help.

  • I have an iPad 2 and so does my mom.  We both have the app Slotomania and now all of sudden after having it for months, our games connected and we don't know how to fix it.  Deleting it and reinstalling does not work.

    I have an iPad 2 and so does my mom.  We both have the app Slotomania and now all of sudden after having it for months, our games connected and we don't know how to fix it.  Deleting it and reinstalling does not work.

    Does the app now use iCloud, do you use iCloud and do the two of you use the same account on iCloud?
    Just a guess.

  • ITunes 10.6.3 Mac running 10.7.3 not responding I have deleted iTunes and reinstall iTunes and it keeps happening I also scanned the computer for any trojans and any other possible viruses but the pc is running perfect waft do I do ? Please help me ?

    I need help iTunes 10.6.3 Mac running 10.7.3 not responding I have deleted iTunes and reinstall iTunes and it keeps happening I also scanned the computer for any trojans and any other possible viruses but the pc is running perfect waft do I do ? Please help me ?

    Hey thanks for replying.
    Here's what I did:
    First I tried the Winsock reset in the Command prompt. Nothing changed.
    Next, I tried the instructions on http://http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4123. The only other program that came up on the 'Winsock Providers' tab on the program was 2 Windows Live applications, which I can do without. So I deleted all Windows Live Applications.
    I did the Winsock reset in the Command Prompt again and rebooted my comp.
    Unfortunately, nothing has changed. iTunes keeps freezing at various stages of the sync, then shows the candy cane-striped bar with either the words 'Finishing sync' or 'Cancelling sync', before showing the Apple logo.
    Sometimes, iTunes gets to the syncing stage - "Copying # of ####" - where it will trudge through the first, second and third tracks before flashing "Copying 4 of ####" for a split second and I catch "Cancelling sync" briefly before the Apple logo appears.
    Again, I've repeated the steps I mentioned in my previous post. Does ANYONE know when the new version of iTunes is set to be released?! This one is driving me INSANE, to say the least!!

  • TS3297 I keep getting an error when trying to add songs to the iCloud. Error reads: "We could not complete your iTunes_Store request. An unknown error occurred (4002)" I have tried to completely delete iTunes and reinstall but still getting error.

    I keep trying to download songs to ICloud but keep getting an error: "We could not complete your itunes_store request. An unknown error occurred(4002)"
    I have deleted itunes and reinstalled but continue to get error. Want else can I do?

    Thanks jdnjo.  Your fix also worked in Windows 8!

  • My iphoto library has become unreadable. I am wondering if I shoudl delete iphoto and reinstall? Can I download iphoto from the web? I bought my computer in February of this year. Do I have to buy a new copy of iphoto?

    My iphoto library has become unreadable. I am wondering if I shoudl delete iphoto and reinstall? Can I download iphoto from the web? I bought my computer in February of this year. Do I have to buy a new copy?

    It's probably the library that's the prolem and not the application. Try this:  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If you can create and open a new library then your existing library is damaged.
    If that's the case, Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • I want to delete oracle and reinstall it..

    i want to delete oracle and reinstall it..
    i know how to install it but no idea how to delete it...

    u can also use oracle DBCA to delete database!
    Otherwise check this one:
    --1--LOGON AS SYSDBA
    sqlplus / as sysdba;
    --2--Check oracle related files. You can create a .sh file that removes all files as i mentioned below.
    Please be careful when executing commands.
    Some of them may be directory instead of file.You can use rmdir command instead.
    Set serveroutput on
    DECLARE
    TYPE string_arr IS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(1024);
    file_list string_arr;
    BEGIN
    SELECT t.file_path BULK COLLECT
    INTO file_list
    FROM(SELECT NAME file_path FROM V$DATAFILE
    UNION
    SELECT MEMBER file_path FROM V$LOGFILE

    SELECT '$ORACLE_BASE/admin/$ORACLE_SID' file_path FROM dual) t;
    FOR i IN file_list.FIRST .. file_list.LAST LOOP
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('rm -f ' || file_list(i));
    END LOOP;
    END;
    --3--after u save the output of the above script, Shutdown database
    shutdown immediate
    --4--Remove all data files as outputted above using rm -r
    --5--Remove entry in tnsnames.ora

    Since last update of Pages, my Pages app in iPad anda iPhone doesn't open, it closes suddenly. I already deleted it and reinstalled, but still not works.
    Can someone help? Do I need to wait for another update?
    Thanks

    This is my problem that has to originate from the update.  So glad that I did not purchase a MacBook!  Apple products/apps are appearing to be not different from Windows products.
    I have deleted and reinstalled from the device and desktop, resets, etc.  When I uninstalled and reinstalled while connected to my desktop, the older version of pages was installed.  I was able to see all of my files that were saved to the cloud.  I was forced to update again to access any of the saved files.  Once updated again, I could no longer open pages.  It began, to open and abruptly shut down.
