Uninstalled Qualcomm Atheros in Control Panel, what do?

Uninstalled Qualcomm Atheros in Control Panel and I am now unable to access to any wireless network. I tried a system restore, but it didn't work
and gave an error message which suggested I turn off my virus protection. I did that, but it still wouldn't work and I received the same error message. Then, I went into Device Manager and tried to "Scan for Hardware Changes," but that also did nothing.
I also tried manually installing the AR9485 driver from Qualcomm and restarted my computer; however, that didn't work either.

That would be the device Metadata from the print driver vendor. It's part of the Device Stage feature mainly for client OS.
Here is some MSDN documentation on the feature.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/products/features/device-management
If this is a print server, use the tools include by the print team if you are performing any management on the server.
Printmanagement.msc
The Devices UI is really about devices it's not designed for print management, the spooler team had minimal input on the UI design.

  • Uninstalled epson printer from control panel...installed new brother printer....now i cannot print anything .pdf old or newly downloaded

    uninstalled epson printer from control panel...installed new brother printer....now i cannot print anything .pdf old or newly downloaded@

    For starters, what exactly do you mean by "cannot print"?
    Are you getting an error message? Are you trying to print from within Reader or are you opening these in the browser? What version of Reader. Even though it's a new printer, the drivers that came with it (or the ones that were already on your computer) may be old so, have you downloaded the most recent drivers from the Brother site?

  • 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?

    Hi,
    If it was installed as a Firefox extension you can try to '''Remove''' it in Firefox '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons''' > '''Extensions'''.

    On the other hand, if it was installed as a Windows application or Internet Explorer application, you may have to uninstall it via the Windows OS Control Panel, or via the browsers concerned. The [http://answers.microsoft.com/ Windows support] would be helpful.

  • 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.

  • 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.
