cant delete program (uninstall files lost)

[mbays]

I am having trouble removing my shareaza program. when i try to uninstall message says uninstall files not found. I think shareaza is slowing down my computer. Any help appreciated.

[Richenstony]

Yh that's why i use basic torrent file sharing and not all this fancy mumbo jumbo ...... go to c:\ in my computer program files left click any folder so its highlighted type S it should come up under the S section delete anything remotely to do with that program and then try a unistall...remove all traces.... that program also endures a painful blow of addware into your computer so i suggest running superantispyware...

Goodluck

Mbays, I've been running shareaza for over a year without a problem. There are many things that will slow down your computer. What makes you think it's that program?

[Richenstony]

Shareza is like kazza...... i dont like it  memory hog as well...

[kuszmania9999]

well i use ares a lot, but you can download faster and get infected faster then other p2p..

[Richenstony]

Yh but ares can also be used as bitorrent i have it as well.... i think its the best p2p going .....

run ccleaner and then dl eusing and go to file and make a full backup of your registry file then, click scan for errors (or something like that, and finally repair (or fix) errors, then restart

I don't think that will do much unloved he needs to remove any traces from system files ..... there will only be a few mile errors with cc leaner ... including a few old installers and he needs to installers to uninstall shareaza otherwise it will be difficult ....

then reinstall it and uninstall it

when i try to uninstall message says uninstall files not found.

[unlovedwarrior]

thats why you run the installer again to recreate those missing files so you can uninstall

Start, run, type in regedit.   make sure that my computer at the top has been selected.  click on edit, select find from drop down list type in shareazza click find

delete any folder called shareazza, press F3 to find next instance.  Delete all refrences to shareazza


Be careful this is your registery settings if unsure ask some one more competent to do this

then reinstall it and uninstall it

I would certainly try this before you go mucking around in the registry as suggested above.
This should only be done if you are familiar with it and proper backups are made.

assuming you use windows xp or windows vista ... ryou need to make restore point which helps.

only p2p that i trust is frostwire, but then again i don't use it too much. stay away from there.

you want music? use ruckus.com if you have an edu email, ruckus is free. or use napster which you have to pay for after free 7 day trial. But in that 7 day trial, I got tons of music!!!

But yeah back to your question, you should run registry program to fix errors on your computer caused by those things as well as other errors to keep computer clean.
