Help on how to install msn and uninstall programmes!

i'm sorry if i seem rather dim from this, i promise i am not, just have a PC conditioned mind and finding it hard to negotiate my Mac.
Firstly, when i try and install msn messenger it downloads the exe file, then when i try and open it it opens with firefox and doesn't actually set up, any help on how to address this would be GREATLY appreciated.
Also, how do i view the programmes i have installed, and more to the point, how do i uninstall them????i am utterly confused by this.
i am sorry if these are really common questions and you are getting sick of hearing them. any help would be ace.
thanks

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
first, you have downloaded the Windows version of the Messenger, you need the Mac version:
http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads.aspx?pid=download&location=/mac/download/ misc/messenger60_download.xml
You can also use Adium X (which is a lot better then the MSN Messenger). Look here: http://trac.adiumx.com/wiki/AboutAdium
Uninstalling programmes in OSX is fairly simple:
When the programm has an uninstaller, use it.
When it has not, you can simply drag it to the trash and that's it.
Although with the this method, usually some Preference files are left behind, but that is not a great thing to be afraid of.
Or you can use either AppDelete (free)http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/23149
or AppZapper (costs) http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/20306/appzapper
Have Fun

  • I am using Mandriva Linux now and I have installed Firefox 6 but I could not install Java plugin with it. Can anyone please help me how to install it?

    I am using Mandriva Linux now.
    But I am using Firefox 3.6.8, but I cannot install java plugin in it.
    Can anyone please help me how to install it?

    The plugins folder in the Firefox installation folder doesn't exist by default. There is no default plugin in Firefox 4, so that folder would be empty and in thus not included. If you want to use that location then you need to create a plugins folder.
    Did you try /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins ?

  • Hello, I have long been using Mozilla Firefoh, but I can't restore a theme (in the browser before I used the theme in anime), I do not remember how to install it and where to find, maybe it was not a topic, and skin. Please help me solve this problem.

    (in the browser before I used the theme in anime), I do not remember how to install it and where to find, maybe it was not a topic, and skin.

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

  • I've installed windows 7 with the help of bootcamp on my macbook pro 2011. Please help me how to install mac drivers for windows7 64 bit???

    I've installed windows 7 with the help of bootcamp on my macbook pro 2011.
    Please help me how to install mac drivers for windows7 64 bit???

    You either download drivers from within Boot Camp Assistant and save to USB FAT disk, or you insert and use 10.6.x OS X DVD when in Windows and install and run the SETUP from there.

    Step 4: Install the Boot Camp Drivers for Windows
    After installing Windows, install Mac-specific drivers and other software for Windows using your Mac OS X installation disc.  The Mac OS X disc installs drivers to support Mac components, including AirPort,built-in iSight camera, the Apple Remote, the trackpad on a portable Mac, and thefunction keys on an Apple keyboard. 
    The Mac OS X disc also installs the Boot Camp control panel for Windows and theApple Boot Camp system tray item.
    To install the Boot Camp drivers:
    1 Eject the Windows installation disc.
    2 Insert the Mac OS X disc.  If the installer doesn’t start automatically, browse the disc using Windows Explorerand double-click the setup.exe file in the Boot Camp directory.
    3 Follow the onscreen instructions.
    If a message appears that says the software you’re installing has not passed Windows  Logo testing, click Continue Anyway.
    Windows that appear only briefly during the installation don’t require your input.
    If nothing appears to be happening, there may be a hidden window that you mustrespond to. Check the taskbar and look behind open windows.
    Important: Do not click the Cancel button in any of the installer dialogs.
    4 After your computer restarts, follow the instructions in the Found New Hardware  Wizard to update your software drivers (Windows XP only).
    5 Follow the instructions for any other wizards that appear.
    6 Check for updated Boot Camp drivers by using Apple Software Update or going to www.apple.com/support/bootcamp.
      If You Have Problems Installing the Device Drivers 
    If it appears that the Boot Camp drivers weren’t successfully installed, try repairing them.
    To repair Boot Camp drivers:
    1 Start up your computer in Windows.
    2 Insert your Mac OS X installation disc.
    3 If the installer doesn’t start automatically, browse the disc using Windows Explorerand double-click the setup.exe file in the Boot Camp directory.
    4 Click Repair and follow the onscreen instructions.
    If a message appears that says the software you’re installing has not passed Windows  Logo testing, click Continue Anyway. 
    If you need to reinstall specific drivers, you can install one driver at a time. For example,if your built-in iSight camera isn’t working, you can reinstall just the iSight driver.
    Individual drivers are in the Drivers folder on the Mac OS X installation disc.

  • How to Install XI and EP on Single server

    Hi,
    How to install XI and EP on same server. I tried to install XI then EP . After EP installed then iam not able to access XI j2ee engine . I think some where port conflicts . I gave system number for XI : 00 and EP : 02
    Can any one help for this. Where did i made mistake.
    Thanks
    Kristene

    Hi Kristene,
    I have installed XI and EP on the same server (for test purposes) without any problems, so it should be possible. I installed them in a different order (first EP then XI), but I don't think that matters much.
    The only real difference is that I kept the system number the same.
    What do you mean exactly with not being able to access the XI j2ee engine? How did you try to access it?

    I AM RUNNING AROUND TO GET IT RESTORED. ANYONE THERE WHO COULD HELP.
    HOW CAN I RESTORE AND GET MY CONTACTS BACK.

    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

    Hi
    You can find the installation documentation here:
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E29495_01/index.htm
    The way the documentation is structured it is structured based on the Application server you would like to use in your installation.
    You might want to look into the following docs, again depending on your choice of supported application server and database server:
    - Installing on Apache Tomcat Application Server
    - Installing on IBM WebSphere Application Server
    - Installing on Oracle WebLogic Application Server
    - Configuring Supporting Software
    The last document provides information how to configure the DB for your installation.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers,
    Rodney
