Help - I can't uninstall CS2 throught the Control Panel Add/Remove Programs in Windows XP

I recently installed a solid state drive and when I went to use CS2 it wanted me to reactivate.
I followed the instructions but was unable to reactivate.
I went to the new files to download and it told me to first uninstall my current version.
I am unable to uninstall the current version.
How do I uninstall it?

    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.

  • I recently downloade Firefox v6.0 but had to remove it via the Control Panel Add/Remove Program. When I tried to re-install it I keep getting an error messsage that said that I had to reboot to fully remove the previous copy of v6.0.

    I recently downloade Firefox v6.0 but had to remove it via the Control Panel>Add/Remove Program. When I downloaded v6.0 again and tried to re-install it I keep getting an error messsage that said that I had to reboot to fully remove the previous copyof v6.0. However when I did reboot I get the same error message. I'm sort of stuck in a loop and can't figure out how I can re-install v6.0. I am running Windows XP on a Dell Inspiron 9300 laptop.

    Please do the following.
    Click '''Help '''| '''Check For Updates'''. The option to update should appear and version 3.6.17 should download and install.
    However, sometimes things go pear-shaped and you get version 3.5.19. If that happens, repeat the same steps to update to 3.6.17.
    Once you have 3.6.17 installed, you'll get the opportunity to update to the current version which is 4.0.1 ''Please don't do that for the moment because you first of all have to update your plugins''. To do the latter, please do the following.

  • Firefox crashed 2 days ago and will now not open, and won't uninstall via Control panel add/remove programs; the files are still there on Windows Explorer. IE8 still works.

    My PC is a fujitsuscaleo 600, last year I had a new hard drive and some extra RAM fitted and since then has been good - have used, and updated Firefox for over 6 years. in August I installed TrendMicro antivirus and for different reasons this has been uninstalled/re-installed twice. AFter letting it expire, I re-installed ParetoLogic PC health advisor (I think in August too)and allowed it to try updating some graphics drivers following a scan - this was unsuccessful so I marked them to ignore (something about my graphics card not supporting the drivers downoladed). I can see the mozilla files on WIndow Explorer but if I click 'remove' (control panel, add/remove programs) I get a very short 'hourglass' then nothing; if I click Firefox icon I get the same. Help!

  • I cannot uninstall Firefox, either through Control Panel Add/Remove or by running helper.exe from Program Files.

    Nothing happens when I click on REMOVE for Mozilla Firefox from the Add/Remove screen of Control Panel. I then tried to run helper.exe from the Mozilla Firefox folder in Program Files, but that wouldn't run either. Any suggestions?

  • HT1923 I can't uninstall iTunes from the control panel on a Windows Vista machine.  .

    I need to uninstall iTunes so I can upgrade my Windows Vista machine to Windows 7 Home Premium.  When I try to uninstall it tells me I can't because I don't have administrator privleges.  I am the only user account on the machine and I have full administrator priveleges.  Any idea how I can get iTunes to uninstall?

  • Once I upgrade CS5 to CS6 can I remove CS5 thru Add Remove programs in Windows? [was: CS6]

    Once I ugrade CS5 to CS6 can I remove CS5 thru Add Remove programs in Windows or just delete them?

    never delete any installed program on a windows os, always uninstall.
    you can uninstall cs5 before or after you install cs6. or, you don't need to uninstall, at all.
    if you uninstall before installing cs6, you will be prompted for your cs5 serial number (in addition to your cs6 serial.  if you leave cs5 installed, you won't need the cs5 serial number to install your cs6 upgrade.

  • I don't want Yahoo as my Firefox search engine; I want Google!! How do I get Yahoo out of my computer cause I can't find it in the control panel. It's like Yahoo's a Virus!!! AAAHHH

    Yahoo infiltrated my computer by downloading a free program that i realized was no good. removed the program since, however yahoo is still here and replaced my google search engine on firefox. I can't find it on add/remove programs on my PC and it's driving me nuts. I now have to use google chrome. I miss my google firefox I've removed Firefox and re-downloaded it and it doesn't help. please help me

    I just discovered a solution! Go to the upper right hand corner in Firefox where the search bar is. Click on the icon and you'll get a drop-down menu. Go to "manage search engines". You can then delete all the no-good ones, like Bing and Yahoo.

  • Uninstall SmartWebPrinting when the control panel offers nothing to remove this program

    I have an HP1600 printer. I use Firefox as my browser. Every time I try to open a file, or my browser, the SmartWebPrinting tries to install itself. It is not shown in the "Add or Remove Programs" list. Originally, it was in the list but didn't have the button to click on for removal. I believe my son may have deleted the icon from my list of programs. How can I remove this completetly? I rearely print directly from the internet and it is a nusance when it tries to install.

    Kellers,
    Commentary
    If it is related, then I suspect this is the older version of the program.
    If it is not showing up in Programs and Features, and assuming it should show up, then it may be because is it indeed disabled due to the incompatibility issues -- that part is good.  The missing bits are bad, obviously.
    Do this first:
    Create a Restore Point:   Create a Restore Point – Win7 OR  Create a restore point Win8
    Ideas
    Perhaps there is a Folder in the system for your "web print"-- you might be able to find it with a search of the C:\Programs Files or C:\Programs Files (x86) folders. 
    For example the newer Smart Print is located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Hewlett-Packard
    You could try moving the folder out of the way.  I have doubts about this working because I cannot see what is going on elsewhere on your system.  I hesitate to suggest you delete the folder for the same reasons  -- I might do so under some circumstances, but telling someone who is in trouble to do something like that (who does not have an Image of their system on hand) is not something I would do.
    OR...
    It occurs to me that you MIGHT be able to fix the problem by updating to the the new version of the program.   I realise you do not WANT the program at all; but a this point if you can update to a working version of the program and THAT version shows up on Control Panel > icon view > Programs and Features > Smart Print >> THEN you could remove the working version.  Poof!
    OR
    You could try this if you are willing to reload your Browser from scratch.
    For Example
    Back up your bookmarks
    Make a list of your Add-ons that you want to keep.
    If you use a fingerprint reader, back up your Webcards.  If you don't know what this means, you don't use a fingerprinter.
    If you use the Browser website password manager, make sure you know your passwords...
    Download a copy of your Browser.
    Take a deep breadth.
    Delete your browser from Programs and Features.
    Reboot your system.
    Install the browser from the download.
    Open the Browser.
    Manually set up your Add-ons and Plugins.
    Import your Bookmarks and, if using, your Webcard backup.
    Set up your other Options
    I wrote this on the fly -- your browser setup might differ from the one shown...
    Firefox Sync:  I am not sure, but at this point, you could also reset up Sync for Firefox -- I don't use Sync so I am not aware the extent of what it would do.  Assuming you don't have this old webprint issue elsewhere, I suspect you would not inherit from another device or backup.

  • I have iCloud installed on my PC, but can't find it in the control panel.

    I have downloaded and installed the app twice.  The directions given by Apple say to look at Network and Internet in the control panel, but there is nothing named that in Windows 7.  I've looked in Network and Sharing, Internet Options, Remoteapp and Desktop Connections--the most obvious substitutions--and none of them show iCloud.  What should I do next?
