Need help to uninstall 8.1.1

Hello,
I tried to update my Adobe Reader 8.1.1, but the process failed. So, I tried to uninstall it via Add/Remove Programs, so that I could then install version 9.0. This too failed, with the message "This patch package could not be opened. Verify that the patch package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer patch package." I went to the Reader Support Center and found that they offered 2 solutions using the Microsoft Windows Installer CleanUp Utility to remove corrupted registry entries or
(2) Remove the Acrobat or Reader Windows Installer registry keys. I am not comfortable working my way around the registry, unless I know that what they are directing me to do is safe (if doing only what they list - like fllowing a recipe, I can do that). Does anyone know if these methods that they are listing are inclusive and generally safe if followed to the tee? Do you have other suggestions to try? Thanks,
Andy

I wouldn't recommend the registry solution but the MS Installer Cleanup Utility is safe.

This is a second try to get help. I need help to uninstall and reinstall Photoshop cc 2014

Bridge is not working well, I need to reinstall Photoshop cc 2014 . Someone from Communities was suppose to help me.

Hi John,
I used the chat "Creative chat support" this afternoon at around 14:40
and the person, Karthik M , gave me a link to Technical Support. I
guess he could not help me, but he said he understood the issue.   With
the link "Help, Adobe Installation problems",   I will follow the
instructions to clean ps cc2014 with CCleaner and reinstall the app.
It looks quite complicated but I will give it a try and hopefully succeed.
You have to understand when reading my previous messages, the issue is
no longer "Retreiving Photoshop CC" but reinstalling Phoshop 2014 to try
to repair Bridge.
Thanks for caring,
Suzanne Lanthier

I need help with uninstalling FP so I can install FP or some hemlock

I cannot get flash player to install, uninstall so that I can install, as all the instructions tell us to do. That insane crazy pop up that tells you to install FP, that you can only say no to so that it will go away is making me want to eat a bullet. I cannot take it much longer. I have no idea what to do. And, the crazy thing is that I did do something a couple weeks ago that made it all stop and then somehow it started again. Sux to fix something but not know what you did, so that you break it again. Anywho, I have tried everything from doing a manual install with the downloader, tried downloading an older vs, but I could not find one that was compatible with Vista, which is my operating system (32 bit). I did go to the hyperlink provided on another persons delimna and the site said that I have the most current vs of FP installed. But, it is not showing in my programs list nor is it in my files in my C drive, nor a trace of it in common files. It is not in regedit in local machine/software/adobe. I cannot find it, only the saved programs to uninstall or install it saved to desktop. Wait, I just rechecked my programs and features and it shows flashplayer 10 Actuve X and shockwave player 11.5, both of which are not found anywhere else in my computer. I am so weary of all of this. I just need help. Please, please please, It is horrible because you have to have fp to run certain programs, but it will not run and I do not know if this is a Adobe issue, Windows issue or a Vaio issue.

Hokay, I have Norton 360, it is run regularily, I also ran ESET this week, I use malwarebytes, pest patrol, registry repair. I took adaware and mcafee off my system as I was told that too many virus softwares conflict and can cause problems. I have had my email stolen, along with the book, it appears someone stripped my email and sold it to a spammer. It is not coming from my computer. Makes me very upset. I have turned this into the FBI cyber crimes site, AOL and Yahoo, since the link emails in the details are yahoo accounts. I get the spam emails as well. Ppl who click on the hyperlinks, some of them are getting viruses, but as I said, these are not being generated by me, but rather from the web. I hate these ppl. My system appears clean.
The pop ups are what everyone who is complaining about this issue are getting, I am assuming. I am seeing this complaint all over. Here is the information about the pop up:
It pops up with any navigation you try to do in IE....any. It will pop up ten times in a row during simple functions. Makes you insane. And the only way you can answer it is to click don't allow. End of story. over and over and over. If you research, web wide you are told to uninstall FP and then reinstall, and there are hyper links provided to do it with, and then you are told to try doing it manually with the Adobe downloader. NOTHING works. I am truly so upset, I cannot use my laptop, a storm surge ate my desktop and I am waiting on insurance to replace that the the iPad is limited. I have no idea which or what is the prob, IE, Adobe or Vaio, which is my make of computer. But, this is so ridiculous.

Need help in uninstalling driver through inf

Hi,
I need help in removing files, deleting service from INF when the device is getting uninstalled through the device manager.
In my INF file i have the following section to add service and copy files during installation.
[XYZ.NTAMD64]
CopyFiles=Driver_Copy_Files, Service_Copy_Files
[Driver_Copy_Files]
myDriver.sys,,,2
[Service_Copy_Files]
myservice.exe,,,2
[XYZ.NTAMD64.Services]
AddService = %Service.Name%, 0, Service_Inst
Installation working fine, service is created and files are copied to the specified folder.
I have the following section for uninstall. Basically i wanted to delete the service and driver files when uninstalling. But it is not happening. I suspect problem may be with the section name
[XYZ.NTAMD64.Remove.Services]
DelService = %Service.Name%,0x200
[XYZ.NTAMD64.Remove]
DelFiles = Driver_Copy_Files, Service_Copy_Files
Please help me on this.

Need Help with UNINSTALLING Photoshop CS

Hey everyone
I want to uninstall my Photoshop CS application on my mac (The whole CS suite actually) since its takes up a ton of room and I no longer use it.
So I want to know how can I safely uninstall them. I read around and watched some youtube vids. Some people say just throw it all in the trash and empty it. Others say not to do that.
I put in the first disk thinking there would be an uninstall thing there but there wasn't.
So can I just throw it in the trash and go around finding the remaining stuff in my library and/or preferences folder? Is this the only way for us mac users to uninstall programs/apps?
Please help, I need to free up some space.
Thanks!

Rave,
Thanks for the reply.
I have looked at those permissions and either set them or confirmed to myself that they were correct at least 4 times in this crusade so far.
I did find a folder named SLStore_v1 which appears to be empty. Anything there? Should the 2 folders where permissions were set have contents?
I am, currently, re-downloading PSCC. It is going very slowly. I'll see what happens when that is complete or has failed as it has times in the past.
Does the downloading need to happen when I have invoked the Root User? Or, is it the running and set up that's important there?

:::NEED HELP WITH UNINSTALL:::

Hello Adobe CS experts!!
Before I do anything, I thought I'd ask you guys...
I currently have have 3 versions of Adobe CS on my computer. CS, CS3 and CS4...
I'd like to uninstall the CS version but there is no uninstaller I can find.
Does anyone know the proper method of manually uninstalling version CS?
Also, When I do, will any of the files removed effect my latest version that I'm keeping on this computer?
Thanks!
Toby

For CS (not CS 3) just drag to the trash.

Need help to uninstall NiceClock from 6630

I did do a search of the site and no other posts here on this topic. However, I have seen at least two references to this problem in the Reviews section of the VerySoft website.
Here is the problem and if anyone can offer a solution I would be very grateful.
I bought a Nokia 6630 second hand. It works well and I actually like it much better than the Nokia 6260 I was using.
At some point the previous owner must have downloaded a little program called NiceClock. It is not nice at all. It wakes me up every night at 12 PM local time Thailand with an alarm. The problem is I can't shut off this alarm. I can't find any trace of NiceClock anywhwere in the phones folders.
I have tried to contact VerySoft technical support but they are useless. They keep telling me to download a mile long URL that doesn't work.
Any suggestions?
cheers,
Terry Clayton

I use a Powershell script to remove any older version of Java before upgrading:
     $uninstallString = gp HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\* |Select DisplayName, UninstallString|Where {$_.DisplayName}|Where {$_.DisplayName.StartsWith("Java")}
     $uninstallString = $uninstallString.UninstallString -replace "MsiExec.exe ", ""
     $command = "msiexec.exe"
     $parameters = @()
     $parameters += $uninstallString
     $parameters += "/qb-!"
     $ret = (Start-Process -FilePath $command -ArgumentList $parameters -Wait -Passthru).ExitCode
     Log "Removal Status Code : $ret"
Since this is searching the 64-bit registry, it will only return entries for 64-bit Java

TS5376 I am hopeless, my computer will not uninstall itunes so i can reinstall! i really truly do need help! can someone please give me some guidance? i have tried almost everything and it is still not working!

I really need help!!! my itunes 11.1.4 download really screwed my computer up! I have tried everything i can search for and i still cant uninstall itunes in order to reinstall. If anyone could please help me it would be muchhhhhhhhh appreaciated. Thanks!

Carly,
I went through the same thing. Searched again for another error I was seeing and found this help from Delgadoh and this finally fixed me! He mentioned this article: iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376. But I had not read it. I went straight to his instructions below.
If you haven't already tried these steps:
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer.
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.

For some odd reason I'm not getting sound of of my hdtv/monitor.HELP? I uninstalled all the drives and apps I download. I moived files either to trash if not needed, and others to other external drives. I went into disk utility and did a repair disk permission and verify disk. Clean out junk files.

Apps don't uninstall/ just an ICON. Advice Need HELP!!!

PLEASE HELP!!!
1. I had a original droid and backed up everything with backup pro. When I got my X I switch out the SD cards and restored everything to the X.
Now I have some apps that don't work. I've tried many different ways to uninstall it but it says it doesn't exist. So basically there is just an icon from the app that I can't get rid of. Any ideas on this???
2. Also. Is there a task killer that manages which tasks to kill. Not just when I push kill but will kill the app if it tries to restart itself. Because we all know that if you use a task killer, within seconds if you press it again the apps are already restarting. I need something that can stop some apps from permanently restarting or running in the background, or connecting to the internet.
3. Is there an app that manages which apps can connect to the internet. Because most apps required full access to the network or internet. What if I don't want them to be able to do that unless I'm going to be using that app. Anyone know of an app like that?
4. If you have tether for android they says it gets up to like 5 Mbps, but mine didn't so I contacted their support. They said do you have other programs using the network/internet. Well yes..Most of the apps all require full internet/network access. So my speed was only Mbps. That is why I asked question number 3. Anyone have any tips to make it faster? Or turn off other apps/programs using the network??
5. Rooting my phone. What are the advantages of a rooted droid?
6. When I save apps to the SD card will my options to place widgets/shortcuts etc change. Like I use jorte, a calendar. I used to have the option to put the calendar on the home screen. Now when I click and hold the screen and it gives me the android/ Motorola widgets, it isn't available any more?? Will Putting things like this on my SD card effect there syncing if the program or app requires it???
7. Any battery savers that do any of the things mentioned above? Or work really well
8. If anyone knows a lot about electronics, Home theater speakers, receivers, would you please contact me because I need help in that department. If more technical stuff, not just hooking up some wires.
Thank you in Advance

I am going to make a wild guess that you might have installed some apps to your sd card when you had it in the Droid or if you used Backup Pro you restored system settings from the backup file and this can cause all kind of issues even if done to original device.
My suggestion is
1. Copy everything off of card and format it. AND THEN COPY ONLY NEEDED FILES BACK ON CARD..
2. Hard Reset device
3. ONLYrestore apps, appointments, mms and sms.
2. Also. Is there a task killer that manages which tasks to kill. Not just when I push kill but will kill the app if it tries to restart itself. Because we all know that if you use a task killer, within seconds if you press it again the apps are already restarting. I need something that can stop some apps from permanently restarting or running in the background, or connecting to the internet.
There really isn’t a app that you can use to keeps apps from running all together but Advance Task Killer is a good app to help because you can set it to close all apps when the device backlight is turned off, you can set it to do it on a time schedule but I learned that option can use a good amount of battery. The backlight option shows no major power use.
3. Is there an app that manages which apps can connect to the internet. Because most apps required full access to the network or internet. What if I don't want them to be able to do that unless I'm going to be using that app. Anyone know of an app like that?
There isn’t anyway to restrict a app from the web, when you install a app that reports it requires this access the program is granted clearance when you agree to install app.
4. If you have tether for android they says it gets up to like 5 Mbps, but mine didn't so I contacted their support. They said do you have other programs using the network/internet. Well yes..Most of the apps all require full internet/network access. So my speed was only Mbps. That is why I asked question number 3. Anyone have any tips to make it faster? Or turn off other apps/programs using the network??
There isn’t any way to change this because this is controlled more from the network than the phone because the apps that would access to update itself would not affect the network transfer that much plus the network never really transfers at the advertised speeds in most areas..
Also are you using a 3rd party app or the Verizon tethering app because the 3rd party apps do not access the web through the same web protocols that restricts data connections speeds as well.
5. Rooting my phone. What are the advantages of a rooted droid?
This information can not be discussed on this forum because doing this to your device can void your warranty on your device and Verizon frowns on this.
6. When I save apps to the SD card will my options to place widgets/shortcuts etc change. Like I use jorte, a calendar. I used to have the option to put the calendar on the home screen. Now when I click and hold the screen and it gives me the android/ Motorola widgets, it isn't available any more?? Will Putting things like this on my SD card effect there syncing if the program or app requires it???
Only apps with this supported option will allow you to move the app to the SD Card, usually the developer configures the apps that can be installed on SD Card so the system will not be impacted by installing the apps on card. Some widgets do get lost when coping to SD Card but when the developers notice this issue they usually work in a fix later.
7. Any battery savers that do any of the things mentioned above? Or work really well
I use only the stock battery saver app and configure it to work well with my use habits, I do not suggest a 3rd party power management app but other may have other opinions on this subject.
8. If anyone knows a lot about electronics, Home theater speakers, receivers, would you please contact me because I need help in that department. If more technical stuff, not just hooking up some wires.
Cant help you here…
Thank you in Advance

Need help FLASH not launching and not uninstalling "licensing for this product has stopped working".

I am having similar problem. Can't open any of CS3 programs after trying to download Dreamweaver Trial, which wouldn't work because "couldn't remove DLM extention" error message. So now I can not run Illustrator, Photoshop, or even Adobe Reader. These are properly licensed for about a year. I get "License for product has stopped working". Have 2 pending cases open with Adobe support (one for Dreamweaver trial, one for license problem) since 8/3 with NO ANSWERS - It says answers within 1-3 business days. Was on phone support hold today for over 3 hours before line went dead with no help. What is up with adobe support? Can anyone help?

Just for clarity, "we" haven't taken your money - this is a user-to-user forum, and you're not talking to Adobe.
Like Rob I'm a Windows user, and - like him - I thought "uninstalling" on Macs was simply a case of trashing the application. Google would seem to concur.
Not really a Lightroom/Adobe issue, then?
