Uninstalling JUST IDE SW drivers

New system, decided to install IDE SW driver without knowing what they really were. Many have had problems, Can i uninstall just the SW IDE driver? How do i uninstall all of the 5.1 drivers? Will it revert to the original drivers? If i can just uninstall SW IDE, will it revert to the windows drivers?
Thanks
-Chris

start menu-----> run----->devmgmt.msc
IDE/ATA Controlers
if you want to disable ID SW just run instalation of drivers again and when asked for confirmation to enable or disable it answer with no.

Hi Email_user_02,
Thanks for the post and welcome to the forum. I am very sorry to hear you have been locked out of your email account.
If I had to speculate as to what has happened I would think that when the home move order was placed your email address was not moved to your new account. If your email is not linked to a broadband account or premium mail then the message you are receiving would be correct. However its clear that this is our fault and I am really sorry about this. This is something that I can sort out.
Can you please get your details off to me in an email? Just click on my username, (SeanD) and you will find the 'Mods contact link' under the 'About me' section of my profile. Once I have your details I will be able to confirm what has happened but more importantly I will ensure that nothing happens with this email address.

How do I uninstall the HP printers drivers?

how do I uninstall the HP printers drivers?
And after that reinstall them?

Try going to /Library/Printers and delete the HP folder. Then go into the PPDs folder in the same path and delete the Contents folder. Before delete, copy the Printers folder to your Desktop for restore purposes if needed.
Reinstall the HP printer drivers from the install CD or download from HP's site.

T410 - Install NVIDIA & Intel HD drivers, or just install Optimus drivers?

Hi Folks,
I'm entirely confused about which drivers I should install. Do I install NVIDIA and Intel HD drivers separately? Or, do I just install Optimus drivers when they come out? Or do I install all 3?
thanks,
alex
T410 2516-CTO
Optimus graphics, NVIDIA NVS 3100M with integrated intel HD

I would like to share with you that you need to update both drivers, first you need to update the Intel HD and then NVIDIA graphics software of your notebook from the below mentioned web link.
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/default.page?
After this, please restart the notebook and check if the issue resolved.

Uninstall NVIDIA IDE drivers--how?

I've read a lot about how the NVIDIA IDE drivers are causing problems. How do I uninstall them? Is it just from the driver tab for the NVIDIA PATA drivers in Device Manager or do I uninstall the NVIDIA drivers from Add/Remove programs?
Thanks!
Bruce

hansh,
Thanks for the info. I found "NVIDIA drivers" located in my Add/Remove programs, but when I clicked "Change/Remove", I did not see the NVIDIA IDE drivers listed. I'll have to double check what drivers are actually being used for the NVIDIA PATA controller.

Look, i'm technologically hopeless, I've just put itunes on my PC and it works fine, except I can't burn anything onto a disc for my car because it says disc burner or software not found. Remember, I have no idea about drivers, etc, can anyone help?

Help me out here guys!

Could you post your diagnostics for us please?
In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". Uncheck the boxes other than DVD/CD tests, as per the following screenshot:

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

Installation problems installing new Canon MG3170 onto MAC Book Pro with OS X 10.7.5. Tried installing using set up disk. Didn't work. Uninstalled files and downloaded drivers from Canon Website. Didn't work. Uninstalled again and plugged printer usb

Having problems installing Canon MG3170. Anyone have any solutions? Here is what I have tried:-
-Installed from provided Canon disk, firstly with wireless connection, then using USB connection. Printer could not be added because the Macbook returns that the software is not available from Apple for both types of connections.
-Uninstalled software from the Canon disk, checked for software updates, then downloaded drivers (printer and scanner) from Canon Website. Again tried to install using wireless connection then USB connecton. Printer could not be added because Macbook returns that the software is not available from Apple
-Uninstalled drivers downloaded direct from Canon Website and plugged printer into Macbook using USB, Macbook recognised the printer and searched for the software, again Macbook returns that hte software is not available from Apple.
Help!

nrg adjusta,
Sorry it took me a while to repsond, Ive been pretty busy with school and work. But for my hard drive problem, I did hours and hours of more research and trying countless ways of installing and tweaking things in my laptop and absolutely nothing worked that I could do. It was very irritating because I felt like I was so close to fixing it and I was just missing a step somewhere. Though It still boggles me why the disk utility shows a different capacity for the HD's. One thing I'm going to try next is replacing the hard drive cable that goes from the internal HD to the macbook. I read somewhere that sometimes those can go bad over time, and also if you get a new, modern hard drive, sometimes the old cable (for some odd reason) might not be compatible with the new HD. So i want to test it out for myself to see it that is the actual culprit.
http://www.ifixit.com/MacBook-Parts/MacBook-Hard-Drive-Cable/IF186-018
Once I get the cable and install it I'll let you know the results and if it helped at all.
Have you made any progress on your hard drive at all? If worst comes worst for you, you can probably get a SATA to USB cable and try to reformat it that way (this is the way that worked for me, but the only problem was it wouldn't be recognized when I installed it internally. Thats why i want to try getting the new cable), and if it still wont recognize it after that, you can just leave it outside of your mac, and just boot from that. The only thing that ***** about that is you have this big hard drive handing off the side of your mac when ever you need to use it.
Heres a link for a SATA to USB. this one is good because is compact and protects the HD from damage and most static electricity.

Im still continuing my search for the answer and once i find it (if ever!) I'll post it.

How can I uninstall / remove HP printer drivers and software?

Hi,
I tried using the HP uninstall program to remove the HP printer drivers and related software, but I still see them in my hard drive. I see HP files in my Library/Preferences and Library/Printers folder. I will remove them by hand. Are there other HP files I should remove?
Thanks,
Ken

Hi Ken!
I have a HP printer as well, and these are the items that are on my HD.
HD > Applications: Hewlett-Packard Folder
HD > Users > Your Account > Library > Preferences:
com.apple.print.PrinterProxy.Your HP Printer.plist File
com.apple.print.PrintCenter.plist File
com.hp.printerutility.plist File
hp inkjet utility prefs File
com.hp.Device.Manager.plist File
com.hp.Photosmart.Studio.plist File
com.hp.scanpro.prefs File
com.hp.scanpro.plist File
com.hp.photosmart.scandestinations.plist File
Hewlett-Packard Preferences Folder
com.hp.printerselector.plist File
com.apple.print.custompresets.plist File
In the above Preferences folder, look for any other files or folders related to your printer as well.
HD > Library > Printers: hp Folder
But I also have HP camera software installed, so you may not have all of these.

Itunes UNinstall = bad idea??

Just a quick & possibly dumb question: If I uninstall then reinstall itunes on my pc, will it affect any content on the ipod itself?? I got almost 25gb on there & wont unintall itunes if it messes it up.
Reason being is I accidentally deleted the ituneshelper in the registry so itunes does not open automatically when I plug my ipod in...
Thanks,
sincerly,
Idiot

Thanks - actually as long as they stay on the ipod itself, I'll be okay! I dont use the itunes library whatsoever after I put them on the ipod.
Concern is that I don't have alot of the content on my hard drive any longer & I listed all the albums, artwork etc manually.
Thank again

How to uninstall just the QTPlugin.ocx?

I'm trying to do the remove the Quicktime browser add-on so that when I click on an mp3, it opens with my default mp3 player, and not in my browser window. It should prompt me to open or save like it did before I update my version of iTunes.
First, I went into the QT control panel and changed the MIME types and file associations, and unchecked every single type that it would allow me to uncheck (it wouldn't let me uncheck "Quicktime Movie" or "Quicktime Movie" again). I closed and reopened all open apps (including the browser) and it still tries to load the mp3 in the browser. Which is not what I want it to do.
Next, I went into IE's Internet Options, to the Manage Add-Ons section, and disabled the Quicktime Object (QTPlugin.ocx). Closed and restarted everything, and it's the same thing except now after the mp3 downloads in the browser, it just displays a red x.
How can I entirely uninstall the Quicktime browser plugin? Why did it get installed in the first place? I just wanted iTunes. I didn't want Quicktime to take over my browser.

It sounds to me like it is being re-registered; when u unregistered, did u remove or rename the .ocx?
windows, as you know has many layers, with too many auto-things; (it is also possible that there are more copies of the qtplugin.ocx);
there are always many ways to accomplish the same thing in windows;
2 other quick ways to accomplish the same thing:
1 - from windows explorer (or `my computer`); make sure that nothing is hidden (tools->options->view) make sure that u have `show all hidden files and folders` checked, and `hide protected system files` unchecked;
- navigate to: c:\windows\downloaded program files
- look for the plugin, right click->remove
(if u only see those long numbers (classIDs) then right-click->properties to see the details so u know which one to remove)
2 - you can use any of a wide variety of 3rd party anti-spyware software to remove the plugin, because they allow removal of almost all .ocx files (found under the `ActiveX` category); e.g., with the (free) `spybot search and destroy` from safer-networking.org, if you choose Mode->Advanced, tools-activex, u are able to remove it;
as I said, there are many ways to accomplish the same thing; if neither of these help, would u want to contact me directly? hopefully we can resolve the issue, and then report the findings/solution here for everyone

How to uninstall and reinstall network drivers on a Samsung 580?

Hi. During the summer, I got a new laptop. It was all fine and dandy when I was at home, using a dial up connection, but when I went to school, I immediately had problems. Neither the cable connection nor the wireless worked. I've got the wireless to work (only the IPV4 connectivity though, IPV6 does not have connectivity), but cable still isn't workinng. I know it's not the cable cord or jack in the wall because I'm typing this from my old laptop. I made a thread on the Windows 7 forum here that provides a further detailed report of the issue as well as some diagnostic stuff (the ipconfig/all thing and whatnot).
I'm thinking maybe the problem will fix itself if I reinstall the driver - since I might have monkeyed around with something and made it worse.
I'm asking how to do that. The driver is a Marvell Yukon 88E8059 Family PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller and I have a samsung 580. I made backup discs when I first got the computer and I just want to remove and add one driver. If that doesn't work, then I guess I'll have to do a clean wipe (again, steps please?) unless anyone can offer any further advice.

The information asked for above would really help. Since you don't have a copy of just the network chipset/card driver, please go to the manufactuer's website and download the driver manually. This will overwrite the old driver. However, again, it doesn't sound like this is the problem - still, having the most current drivers is always advisable.

Usb to ide cable drivers????

Do i need drivers to connect an old HD from my broken pc laptop to my new Imac?
I thought it would just plug and play but having spent the money now on a cable nothing happens when i set it up. Any help, tips would be much appreciated.
Regards
Mark

thanks for the reply.
to be honest i only have the one drive and that is why i bought the new mac because i was TOLD that the drive was ok and it was in fact the motherboard on my lap top that was no good. i took the HD to a pc shop and they tested it as ok. I did not look until after i unwrapped the cable from its plastic box that it says only supported by windows. Having seen these types of cables advertised on the net i have seen them with mac support or drivers.Why would i even need drivers???

Is it possible to uninstall just clients and not databases using winbatch

Due to security updates we have chosen to remove all previous versions of Oracle CLIENT, and we currently have a WinBatch script that parses all home locations and then uninstalls the Oracle software from those home directories using the Oracle uninstaller.... yep you can see where this is going, on a PC with Oracle Database installed (IE Devs) their database(s) were uninstalled too DOOOHHHH!!
What I am in need of is a scripted method to parse all home directories (because we all know Devs will just reinstall the client they think they need) and uninstalls just the CLIENTS and not the databases. Is this possible programmatically?

Edited by: 960187 on Sep 19, 2012 3:09 PMThis is a fool's errand. The database home includes the client software. And that is necessary because there are times when the database instance itself has to take the role of a client.
Yes, there can be a separate 'client-only' home that can be fairly easily identified, but that still leaves a client in the db home.
You need to re-think your 'requirement'.
