How does one completely remove the Contribute add-in from Excel?

This problem is driving me "buggy":
Contribute CS5 installed its add-in toolbar in Excel (2010) on my Win7 (b4-bit) machine. I don't need or want it. Since it was listed as a COM add-in, I "removed" it using File>Options>Add-Ins>Manage COM Add-ins. It was removed from the list of installed add-ins (confirmed by a restart, i.e., no item, no check box), but it was not removed from Excel's Add-Ins list.
I did some searching and found several fora in which it was suggested that renaming the files OfficePlugin.dll and OfficePluginRes.dll would solve the issue. I did, it did not.
More searches yielded a suggestion to deinstall Contribute, which I did. That did not work either. Now I have neither Contribute nor its Excel toolbar components installed, yet its "carcass" remains "perched" on Excel's Add-Ins list like a dead parrot pining for the fjords...
I searched this and other Adobe fora before posting this message, but I was unable to locate this exact issue.
Has anyone encountered this and solved the issue?
Thanks in advance!

ADOBE SUCKS! - Why can't they make it simple for users to uninstall a plug-in that most users don't want or need, and simply find annoying.  This is a complete nuisance.  Does anyone at Adobe even care????  I'm fed up and pissed off and wish someone in their company would fix it.

  • How does one completely remove unwanted Apps? It seems that prior to IOS 5.0 I could do that and now cann't.

    I am totally new to APPLE products and have for years avoided getting anything APPLE due to interface issues with other operations systems.  I have unwanted apps and want to completely remove them from my IPhone 3GS with IOS 5.0... I seems that in the past (prior to the IOS 5.0 upgrade) I was able to do this, and now I can't.
    Another issue; attempted to download the manual for the IOS 5.0 upgrade, system states that it has downloaded however it's nowhere to be found, hmmmm?

    First of all where do you want to delete your apps from, your iPhone or iTunes? If you delete your games from iTunes and keep them on your phone, when you connect your iDevice it'll sync, if you delete it from your iPhone and leave it on your iTunes, it'll still sync. So if you want to delete all apps, 1 Delete all apps on your iPhone and 2 delete all apps on iTunes as well. Also when you download apps on your iPhone or computer, iCloud automatically puts them on your devices. About the second issue, to be honest I don't know

  • How does one tell if the J2EE services are running with Unlimited

    How does one tell if the J2EE services are running with Unlimited
    security? We have applied the export Policy to the server but we do notsee any reference to it running with it. .we apply the Service packs SAP now upgrades that JAVA as well . Do that process treat the JAVA
    lib/security area correctly.

    Just out of curiosity... Is there something you do
    like about Mac/Apple?
    To answer your question: no, not really. However, the points that I made here were about Safari and accompanying utilities, not about Apple in general.
    If it makes you feel any better, I am just as, or even more, critical of Micro$oft as the occasions arise...Windoze Vista is the most recent occasion and has given sufficient reasons and opportunities to vent my spleen that I actually have eased up on Apple, politicians, nut-case religious extremists, cell phone owners, and the Department of Homeland Paranioa, etc., due to an exhaustion of creative energy.

  • How does one turn off the appletv

    How does one turn off an Apple tv?  I think it's 3d generation.

    If you are at the top level "Home" page, press and hold the Pause Button and AppleTV will shut off after a few seconds.
    If you are not yet at the Home page, you can repeatedly press the Menu button to move back up there, or even better press and hold the Menu button to jump back to the Home page no matter how deeply down you've burrowed.
    I find it satifying to turn it off when I walk away, but don't know if there's any real advantage compared to just letting it time out as suggested by Kappy.

  • How does one make CC the default out of ACR rather than CC 2014?

    I installed the updates for PS CC and PS CC 2014.  Now, when opening a file out of ACR, it defaults to CC 2014.  How does one set things so that it opens in CC rather than CC 2014?

    GB has two "modes": In "musical time" the units of the timeline are bars and beats, in "real time", they're seconds. You can switch between them by clicking the clock/note symbols near the play button.
    "Snap to grid" only works in the musical time mode.
    An Apple Loop is always supposed to be an integer number of measures long. So if you're in 4/4 it can be 1, 2, 3 ... measures (which is 4, 8, 12 ... beats) long. Since the concept of loops is to be in rhythm with the beat of your song, this makes sense - so it is assured that the "one" of a drum loop, e.g., always sits on the "one" of a measure.
    If your loop is only half a measure long, you can double it to make a full bar. If your loop is not in rhythm at all with a beat - well, then it probably doesn't make sense to turn it into a loop that adjusts to the tempo in the first place. You can still turn it into a "static" kind of loop.

  • How does one prevent a column in a database from being visable to end users

    I have a password column I would like to hide by default from any one with query access. How does one do this?

    If you're on 10G you can use encryption.
    First create a wallet en create the master encryption key with:
    alter system set encryption key identified by "<secretpwd>";
    Then you can encrypt a column in a table with the command:
    alter table <tablename> modify <column> encrypt;
    If the wallet is open you can query the column. If the wallet is closed you cannot query the column ....

  • How can i completely remove CA associates security software from my desktop? Thank you. AL M.

    I purchased the Computer Associates internet security software in 2010. I now want to install a different security product. However, I cannot completely remove the CA product. I have tried the normal removing of software from the software installed on my desktop but that does not get rid of the darn thing. Obviously there are some hidden files etc. that i am not getting to. So help please. This is also making my desktop frustratingly slow and i a am sure the uninstalled part of the CA software is causing this lack of response. Thank you in advance for your help and consideration.

    This is a a Firefox support forum, and so we can't really help with Removing CA. Please read something like http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20061124194224AAIDpYU for help.

  • HT6172 Server Update v3.1.1: How does one get past the Updating Services screen: "The server is being updated on this Mac"?

    Upon opening Server after the update has installed, it simply hangs for hours on end (more than 5 hours) on the above screen, with the progress bar showing about 1/3 complete. Please help!

    -update-
    Did not yet completely reset the server. (It's not mine… it's from a customer so completely resetting the server is really the last thing he wants to be done…)
    but I've digged deeper into the problem and the logs.
    Test: renaming the .plist files mentioned in the arcticle about resetting the server
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.serverd.plist > /Library/Preferences/com.apple.serverd-old.plist
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.servermgrd.plist > /Library/Preferences/com.apple.servermgrd-old.plist
    This triggers also a 'new setup' from the server instead of 'updating services'.
    And even now the configuration of the server halted on the same place in the logs!

    calendarcommonextra: Apr 16 11:36:48 Service was not previous enabled
    and the it stops, and keeps waiting forever…
    Then I've tried to expermiment a little bit in the /Library/Server folder with renaming some folder to see if thsi could solve the problem. (Because the folders are getting recreated with default settings and data). So I've renamed "Calendar and Contacts" and tested: No success. I've renamed "PostgreSQL" and tested: No success. …
    When I read some articles about these problems most of the time the problem seems to be related to some 3th party from specific software is installed, like when someone installed another version of Python instead of using Apple's. The upgrade process does not seem to like this and freezes.
    A quick look in the Downloads folder of this specific server showed an installer of pgAdmin, used to configre/control PostGreSQL databases… so -in this case- this was installed by another external company to do somehting on that server which I don't know what it does .
    But for now, I've pinpointed the problem. The original PostGreS of OS X Server on this server is tampered/overwritten by another PostGreSQL and this will be the reason why the update does not work.
    I have to phone that other company next week to see if they are aware of this issue, and hopefully they know how to fix this.
    bottom line
    reading the ServerSetup.log is the first thing to do!

  • How can i completely remove the recovery partition?

    Hi, i own an HP notebook model Pavilion 15-e070sl and i want to know how i can remove the recovery partition. I just performed a clean install from my System Recovery DVDs and i don't need the recovery partition anymore (since i got those DVDs), so i decided to delete it from the HP Recovery app; now the data has been deleted but i have a 17GB circa unallocated space on the disk, and i'd like to merge it with C to get some more space, but i don't know how to do it. I tried with thw windows disk management and i can't, i tried with easeus partition master but after moving those two little partitions before the unallocated space or even deleting them (see the pic http://img850.imageshack.us/img850/6928/1lge.png) i can't expand C: to get rid of the unallocated space.
    Any suggestion?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hi,
    Assuming E: is the Recovery Partition. Please try:
    Right-click Computer > Manage > Storage > Disk Management, then right-click the graphic of the E partition and select Delete. The partition returns to Unallocated for a Primary Partition or Free Space if it‘s a Logical Drive within an Extended Partition. Delete the partition if it is an Extended partition.
    Now right-click the graphic of the C partition and select Extend. 
    Note: C and E must be sitting next to each other.
    Regards.

  • How does one completely empty a text frame of all text -- including overflow?

    Using something like myTexframe.contents = '' will only remove the visible text bounded by the frame and not any overflow. I need to empty the frame completely. Thanks.

    of course, what I just wrote will delete the entire story, i.e., the
    contents of any previous text frames as well. Is that what you want?

  • How does one find out the database name , service name in a database

    hi,
    how do u find out the database name , service name , SID in a database.
    Please reply.
    Thanks ,
    Regards,
    RC

    This particular information is available in the view V_$PARAMETER owned by SYS. But you can also login with Server Manager as user INTERNAL and run:
    SHOW PARAMETERS
    The entries pertaining to the naming of the database are:
    1. db_name
    2. db_domain
    3. db_name
    4. instance_name
    5. service_names
    GLOBAL_NAME is a static (not changing) Data Dictionary view which has just 1 attribute (column) called GLOBAL_NAME.
    When you run:
    select GLOBAL_NAME from GLOBAL_NAME;
    You are returned the full global name of the database, i.e. the db_name and the db_domain joined together by dot (.) For e.g. if your db_name = mgmt and db_domain = tech.co.in, then your global_name will be MGMT.TECH.CO.IN.
