How to manually uninstall or fool the dynadock U3.0 drivers

I had to restore my computer from a backup image. After the restore, my dynadock U3.0 was no longer recognized, and even the icons in 'Programs and Features' did not look normal.
I thought to myself, "No problem...I will simply uninstall and re-install the drivers..."
I tried to gracefully uninstall the drivers via 'Programs and Features', but the two line items that were related to the dynadock would not uninstall. They both claimed they could not find the appropriate MSI package for their respective installs.
As a result, I used the third-party utility 'Revo Uninstaller Pro' to force the uninstall. Revo seemed to indicate success, and the two line items related to the dynadock are no longer seen in Programs and Features.
HOWEVER, when I now attempt to re-install the dynadock drivers, I get the message:
"DisplayLink Software for TOSHIBA USB Display Drivers is already up to date."
So I'm looking for guidance on what to hack to fool the dynadock installation program into thinking it needs to perform a fresh installation.
I was really happy with the functionality and performance of the dynadock U3.0, but right now it is a brick.

I figured out why my dynadock installation was corrupted in the first place. The disk imaging software that I use did some incorrect things with the Windows registry *after* restoring a backup image to my hard drive. The registry manipulation adversely affected several things, including the dynadock drivers and programs (and the ability to uninstall them). I addressed the fundamental problem that led to this misbehavior and executed another image restore to my hard drive. My dynadock and everything else worked perfectly after this restore.
Even though my issue was rare, I thought I would pass on knowledge of the following cleaner/uninstallation utility that I found at the DisplayLink website. It worked perfectly during my diagnostics...
http://www.displaylink.com/support/ticket.php?id=297
The TOSHIBA dynadock U3.0 utilizes a chipset/technology from DisplayLink (i.e., it is OEM'ed to TOSHIBA from DisplayLink). This software and hardware technology is what allows the dynadock to receive the video stream via USB from the host computer. Vendors--in this case TOSHIBA--build the rest of their functionality on top of the 'DisplayLink Core Software'. As a result, the cleaner utility from DisplayLink wipes out all trace of the entire dynadock installation.

You can just drag the file to the trash. If you want you can remove the pdf plug-in from the internet-plug in folder, but that should not be necessary to correct your problem.

How to manually uninstall Adobe Acrobat 9 or force installation?

Acrobat was not cleanly uninstalled with a installation manager Total Uninstall, and now the standard uninstaller is no longer available. Reinstallation is currently not possible because the installer believes Acrobat is still installed. It seems my only option is to manually uninstall Acrobat, or possibily simplier option of forcing installation. I have removed all directories and subdirectories associated with Acrobat but this is not enough. Any help would be appreciated.

Well I guess you know now not to use crappy 3rd party utilties. What's wrong with using your OSes application removal anyways ?! That's what it's there for. <end of rant>
Go to Microsoft download and get the "Installer Cleanup Utility" (not sure if that's the correct name, but it's close enough . Run it and see if you can proceed with the installation of Acrobat.
FWIW it's not as simple as that. We use an administrative install point, (following adobe's "instructions" I might add), and several systems, including mine, got pretty jacked up from the 9.3.2 quarterly update.
Had to rip it out by the roots, and the msi cleanup is only part of the solution. Don't ask for a howto - I'm still too traumatized.
Registry surgery, boot to safe mode, remove application directory, some start->run entries, yada yada yada. Had to boot into linux to fix the recycle bin after all was said and done.
What a bloated mess.
I will add that most systems were fine, but this application is waaaaaaay too complex for what it does. Installation is fragile in a managed desktop environment, repair tedious. Updates are unforgiveably large and The MSP approach to patches/updates is a freaking nightmare to deal with. It sprays crap all over the system, the registry, and what the installer does is poorly documented if at all.
Funny how adobe nevers seems to chime in on any of these threads, BTW.

How can I uninstall firefox when the add/remove programs in control panel doesn't work, nor does opening it in the run command?

I tried to uninstall firefox using the control panel, add/remove programs. When I click on remove it does nothing. Then I tried using run, firefox, uninstall, helper and this does nothing either. Is there another way to remove it or repair it? I am using windows xp not 2000.

For details of how to manually remove Firefox see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox - it gives details of the folders you need to delete.
What is your problem with Firefox, re-installing Firefox does not normally fix problems.

How to manually uninstall j2re ?

hi all,
i have problems with j2re 1.4.0 installation and i would really appreciate any help.
here's my problem : i first installed j2re 1.4.0_02 and then j2re 1.4.1, without uninstalling the first version. so, i had two plug-ins running on my pc.
i decided to uninstall both and reinstall 1.4.0.
after uninstalling both jre, i tried to launch the installation program but it doesn't seem to work (actually it doesn't stop, when trying to install the plug-in).
i suppose that the unistall process didn't work properly, so now i would like to uninstall jre manually before trying to install it again (i deleted manually the j2re directory, but it's not enough of course).
so, please help me because now i don't have any jre (and no plug-ins also)
thank you in advance

hi all,
to anyone may have a problem similar to mine, here is how I solved it. follow the instruction and remember to exit any browser active task before launching the installation program.
for jre1.4..0_02 i found the correct registry key to delete is
{082F1B07-797C-11D6-9CFB-00010240CE95}

You may need to manually uninstall the J2SE 1.4.0_01 JRE. To do so, follow these steps:
Go to Control Panel; select Java Plug-in. Click on the Browsers tab. Uncheck both IE and Netscape6.
Remove the directory in which you placed the J2SE JRE. For example, remove C:/Program Files/Java/j2re1.4.0_01.
Remove the following files from the Microsoft Windows System Directory:
plugincpl140_01.cpl
java.exe
javaw.exe
On Microsoft Windows NT, 2000, and XP:
C:/winnt/system32
On Microsoft Windows 98 and ME:
C:/windows
Remove the following Registry Keys:
HKEY_LOCALE_MACHINE/software/Javasoft/Java Runtime Environment/1.4.0_01
HKEY_LOCALE_MACHINE/software/microsoft/windows/currentversion/uninstall/7C F31609-270B-11D6-9445-000102308676

How to manually uninstall extension?

Hi there,

How can I manually uninstall the beta version? Any help?
Thanks

which I am only guessing happened during moving of files from my old Windows XP computer (by a third-party utility).
PC Mover is one of the classic suspects with this.
Let's try the following procedure.
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

How to manually uninstall Java EE SDK on windows?

Check your PATH environment variable - if there are any garbage entries appended to it, clean up and retry SDK installation.

How do I uninstall and reinstall the trial?

I've downloaded PS CC and Bridge. It decided where to install itself, C:\Progam files. I can't work with anything with it there. I need to uninstall and reinstall without haveing to go through the long download wait. How do I do this?

It decided where to install itself, C:\Progam files.
On a Mac, and I have no reason to believe it being different on Windows, there is a moment in the procedure that lets you decide where to install it. Default is the standard application folder so if you missed this option for choice it will be installed there.
I can't work with anything with it there. I need to uninstall and reinstall without haveing to go through the long download wait.
Maybe the Windows guys will have a better idea but if you decide to use another drive to me the safest option would be an official uninstall and download the lot again. I don't know how it works on the PC but there are a lot of different components installed to various locations, moving the application folder to another folder is one thing, to another drive is maybe one step to far for consistent correct behavior of these pretty complicated applications.

How to manually uninstall the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack?

Hey there, I have a problem with the uninstallation of the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack v4.00.20 on my Windows XP SP2 notebook. Whenever I choose to remove the "Bluetooth Stack for Windows by Toshiba" (and "Bluetooth HID Switch Service") the installer starts preparing but hangs after a short while - the only way to continue is to power the notebook off. :(
The same happens when I try to update the stack to the latest version - the installer says that the old stack has to be removed first and hangs after trying to remove it. So is there a way to remove it by hand? I really don't want to reinstall Windows because of that.
The reason why I want to uninstall/update the stack is because my Jabra BT620s headset doesn't work with it. I can connect it and use it as earphones (the music quality is pretty good) but I cannot use the built-in microphone. This works with the Widcomm stack but with this one I have quality issues.
Thanks in advance.

If only your headphone works and not your headset then you have most likely not configured the headset profile. Use the "Custom Mode" of Bluetooth settings and setup also HFP (or HSP if HSP does not exist) then it should work.

How to manually zoom in using the Ken Burns effect

I love the way the Ken Burns effect zooms in on a photo. But it isn't optimally positioned on my photo. So I want to manually control this effect from start to finish of the duration. I understand how to slide left, right, top or down but its not obvious how to make it zoom in or out from start to finish. Can someone tell me how to do this.
Thanks in advance.
--Mickey

pick the photo in the slide show - click on the settings icon in the tool bar and on this slide - click on start next to Ken Burns at the bottom of the settings window and zoom the photo to the desired size using the zoom in the lower right hand corner and pan to the desired starting point by dragging - click end and do the same for the final position and you have it
