Why can't I uninstall Skype properly?

My Skype home was unavailable, so after rebooting the files , I had chosen to uninstall it (because I couldn't login[it would say 'Skype can't connect]). Except my uninstallation and changing program crashes every time I try to uninstall Skype.
Help?
And would I have troubles reinstalling Skype as well?

Download and run the program at the following location:

REBOOT then try to reinstall the latest version of Skype:

    You should not install it again..
    Boot the computer into safe mode and try the uninstall again.
    No luck you will have to manually uninstall which is a pain. Delete the files and open regedit and delete the registry entries.. better still use the system restore to go back to a previous system where you had no 4.2 installed..
    Or just ignore it and install the latest 5.6.1 and if it gives trouble well do a clean install of windows.

  • Why Can't Firefox Uninstall Itself Completely?

    I use MZ components because I appreciate the options to closed apps such as Outlook, IE, etc. However, one thing that bugs the heck out of me is the inability to completely remove itself when so directed. If an app like Firefox knows how and where to install itself, why the heck can't it completely uninstall itself?
    I recently completed a clean install of W7-64b on a new machine and added Firefox 10. Experiencing an issue, I uninstalled it (or so I thought). From that point on, new installs froze the system and produced random issues of lockup. Checking the registry I found remnants everywhere even after asking to completely remove personal files, history - whatever. Removing all the remnants and reinstalling fixed the problem.
    Like I said above, if you know where you're publishing during the install, why can't you also make sure you go back and remove everything when directed?
    As a workaround, at least publish a checklist for following up to make sure all registry entries and directories are removed.

    Delta Search in NO way comes with firefox, unless you downloaded a bogus firefox, always download from mozilla.org

  • Why can't I uninstall itunes and reinstall it? It says; The feature I am trying to use is on a Network Resource that is unavailable.

    Hi,  I can't uninstall the older version of itunes along with some of its componetnts in ADD/Remove programs in Control Panel. I would like to download a newer version of itunes but I keep getting a dialogue box which reads 'The feature you are trying to use is on a Network Resource that is unavailable. Any ideas how to resolve this?

    It says Click Ok to try again or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package itunes64.msi in the box below
    (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 iTunes 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?

  • Why can't i get Skype app on iPhone 4s

    Hi
    My mum gave me her old iPhone 4s.  It's the first time I've had a smart phone so I am a bit new to it.  I tried to download Skype for iPhone, but it said my phone couldn't have it.  I had the same with BBC Radio iPlayer.  Some apps say I don't have the right operating system - I get that, but why do some apps just say my phone can't have a certain app?  Is it because I am wirth giffgaff and am not on a contract but have sim only and then buy monthly goody bags?

    ok, first, thanks to all of you for all the help so far.
    second, this is turning into a kind of nightmare!
    i decided to try using my mum's new macbook to use iTunes to update my iPhone.  first, it didn't have iTunes installed so i had to install it.  now i have done that, and tried to update my iPhone but i just get a message on my mum's computer saying i have the most recent version of 4.2.1 and there will be another update at a certain date (can't remember it.) eh?  what's that about?  i'm not tech-savvie and am completely flummoxed. i thought i'd update it to a newer version. how can i update my iPhone?  all i want to do is get some basic free apps! 
    also, i hear what you're saying, and it seems the phone must be an iPhone 4 not 4s, but the box etc all say 4s.  another weird factor.
    i'd really appreciate some help, please. 

  • Why can't I uninstall Quick Time?

    I cannot uninstall QuickTime / update ITunes because it cannot locate the directory where 'Quick Time.msi' is located.
    I deleted the Quick Time folder in the Program Files, but it didn't help. I'm not real big on computers but I've been pretty good in the past. PLEASE HELP. I want to update my ITunes, and my IPod but I can't.

    I cannot uninstall QuickTime / update ITunes because it cannot locate the directory where 'Quick Time.msi' is located.
    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
    (If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

  • Why can't i make skype to go calls to Nigeria

    I have a skype subscription to Nigeria, and i only call when i have internet, by logging on to my skype. However, when i had limited internet access, i tried using skype to go to call, and i was told i cannot make skype to go calls to Nigeria. Why is that?
    Secondly, is there an alternative method of calling my country, using my subscription, when i have no internet access?

    Skype isn't available everywhere due to certain political issues, telecom cartels and fraud risks. Take a look at an alternative VoIP provider which does allow calls to Nigeria.
    VoIP Gain is available as an app, via your browser, via SIP and also with a local access number (like Skype 2 Go) http://www.voipgain.com/ways_to_call/fixed_line
    If Skype don't do S2G calls to Nigeria, try another service who do & check their call rates. If you register an account you can make a free test call to Nigeria to check the call quailty too.

  • Why can't I download files properly after Mac OS X 10.6.8 upgrade?

    Recently I upgraded to Mac OS X 10.6.8.  Now, when I download a file (example:jpeg) it shows up as: Name=Unknown; Kind=Document; Size=Tiny (example 20kb).  Any ideas why?

    I just now noticed your system version in your topic.  Thank you for providing your other system information. Same should be in your profile so that if you have any other problems, you will not have to repeat yourself or the helpers here keep asking you for it.
    If you uninstalled all the older versions of flash player on your computer....
    Disconnect all peripherals from your computer.
    Boot from your install disc & run Repair Disk from the utility menu. To use the Install Mac OS X disc, insert the disc, and restart your computer while holding down the C key as it starts up.
    Select your language.
    Once on the desktop, select Utility in the menu bar.
    Select Disk Utility.
    Select the disk or volume in the list of disks and volumes, and then click First Aid.
    Click Repair Disk.
    Restart your computer when done. 
    Repair permissions after you reach the desktop-http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2963 and restart your computer.
    Install flash player, repair permissions again when done and also restart your computer.
    If still having issues, you should post in the Adobe forums.

  • Why Can't I uninstall or repair Firefiox from Windows 7 control panel_ software uninstall, change ,repair

    Firefox crashed and I have been unable to restart it. Sent Report by email to Firefox two weeks ago no response. At this point I want to uninstall first and then new install.

    Are you running 32-bit or 64-bit Windows?
    If you're running 32-bit Windows then you can probably ignore that step safely.
    If 64-bit you could try creating the missing entry and give it the correct value.

  • Why can i install forms server properly in windows xp?

    I guess i haven't installed FORMS SERVER properly, because in my \developer\bin\ i cant find "ifsrv60.exe"
    the installation prompts me that if i have OEM (oracle enterprise manager) (which i think is ORACLE 9.2 ENTERPRISE EDITION) i should select NO, to avoid creating that service... so i always choose "NO".
    I've tried choosing "YES" twice, even in SAFE MODE, and it crashes, saying something about "ifsrv60.exe -install"...and something about a "spawn" or something.
    i wanna test if all works but without my "forms server" i guess i cant test it right? what should i do?
    also, when installing i chose "server installation", then "web deployment" and then "single computer".
    help me out

    Hi
    There is a special version for windows XP i dont remember the exact number right now but you have to install from that specific cd and plus you need to install patches 13.
    If i understand you correctly, you are not able to connect to database? if so, you need to configure the tnsnames.ora file. you can use the Net8 easy config from start/programs/$oraclehome$.
    or you can manually set it from Oraclehome$\net80\admin\tnsnames.ora
    set it as:
    <service name> =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = <machine name)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = <SID>))
    I suggest you de-install everything you have installed previously, and start fresh.
    Hope this helps
    Regards
    Tony

  • Why can't i download skype on my ipad

    I am trying to download Skype on my iPad and I keep getting an error message that tells me that the app isn't compatible with my iPad.  Any reason why?

    Depending on where you bought it/where you are, apparently some foreign countries do not allow the skype program to run - as in some middle eastern countries.
    Also, you do need to download skype for iPad or through the iTunes store. Normal programs, made to run on a PC or Mac won't run on an iPad. Different operating systems
