plz reply ppl

i'm desperate here, is there no other way to uninstall a program if control panel won't work!!!!!!!!!!!

Well there's no other way but to delete the files/folders manually. But you have to make sure that this does not negatively effect the PC, as in you don't delete dll files that maybe required. Like, if you are trying to uninstall VGA drivers and instead you delete them then you'll have problem with the display. Windows will choke and wine

The control panel may not be working because the uninstall file (for your app) may have been corrupted, deleted or was never packaged!!

The control panel actually provides a link to the uninstall file that may have been packaged with the app that you installed. It then unregisters any dll's associated with the system (one can unregister these files manually as well

... but you have to know the exact names of the dll files )

einstein all dat registered JUST! care to provide step by step instructions as well plz

^^ Allah kay banday yeh tou bata kay koun sa program hai ... kiss terha ko program hai. You just can't go about deleting files. How about you do some homework -> Find out if there are any dll files that are being used by the app and are critical. Then I'll give you the commands to unreg the files, if necessary.

P.S: If you care to tell me which program you have then it might make things easier

i opened a thread upon this topic quite recently, but to no avail, here goes again:

program = TuneUp Utilities 2004

publisher = Tune Up Software

version = 4.1.2312

support information = www.Tune-Up.com

when i try to remove this program via control panel, the followng happens:

*sheesh screen dump won't upload*

p.s "wat r dll files?"

nos · Jun 2nd, 2004, 12:33 AM

How about trying this utility before I install tune-up myself and play with it.

this is the best i could do, plz click upon tune+up.bmp(2.25 MB) open/save and u'll be able to c the screen dump i couldn't upload via gs coz' of size problem

nos · Jun 2nd, 2004, 04:02 AM

Uncle you should have saved it as a jpeg and not bmp .... these bmps just bloat like anything

looking into the issue ...

[EDIT] the reason you are getting the error is because, initially, you installed the program from the desktop and then you deleted it. Now the program is trying to access the uninstall package, but obviously your highness has deleted it. If you run the setup file again and fix/repair the current installation things should be normal, HOPEFULLY!!

let me know if this helps :conused:

beta ji i have been @ it for ages and i can't find any set up file/s for tuneup utilties 2004 in my c: drive, lots of options r there under the tuneup utitlies 2004 folder but no set up file i even clicked on all of them to double check!!!!! + that softpedia link u gave i downloaded that hs cleandisk thingymagig but again the same error popped up when i tried to uninstall the program via it, kai desktop pai nahi raha tuneup utilites 2004 icon so no can do [

] this program was designed to tunup the computer, it sure has tuned me up instead

nos · Jun 4th, 2004, 02:29 AM

I'm sorry this is getting too much for you but you have to try various options before you can hit for the last resort.

When I said setup file I mean the .exe file you downloaded from the net/whatever and used to install the app. Run the same installation package again and see if it gives you the option to fix/repair the installation.

Calm down alright, take it easy. I know these PC's test your patience at times but you gotta be cool headed

K Khan · Jun 4th, 2004, 09:30 AM

Arggggggh

Download THIS and Install it again, then Uninstall.

nos · Jun 4th, 2004, 11:43 AM

^^ Thank you kamran

Let Uz Chat · Jun 4th, 2004, 09:43 PM

nos the .exe file u mentioned is no where to be found yaara

!!!!!!

kami that was the 1st idea that popped up into my mind about installling over this program, but that didn't work either [

] as after downloading i can't install tuneup utilities 2004 unless the previous version of the same program is uninstalled and that i can't do via control panel as i have unintentionally deleted the desktop short cut route to it!!!!

mein buri tarha sai phasaaa huwa houn ppl

Man I'm just burried with work

.... will get back to you later.

nos · Jun 6th, 2004, 12:15 PM

Hmmm ... if it says that you have to uninstall the older version then what you can do is simply delete the registry entries. You may use this tool to delete the TuneUp entries in the registry. But make sure that you back up the registry before you pull any stunt.

RegCleaner

I hope this helps this time around and if it doesn't ... *sigh ... report back and inshallah we'll try to find another solution
