Can anyone help me get rid of this: I have some old stuff left on the comp from an old scanner, its called Omnipage SE40 Scan soft 1316.


I've tried to delete from "add /remove programmes etc" but comes back "fatal error" cannot remove? any ideas, its 140MG I could do with.

I would try searching for files containing the word omnipage or words similar.
You could try omni or se40 or 1316.

If it finds something , open the folder and if it is obvious that folder contains the files to run your unwanted program , dump it to the recycle bin.

It won't be the same as uninstalling , but it should release your 100 Megabytes to you.

Just beware if you dump stuff and then empty your recycle bin, then it is GOOOOONE!!!.

Also try starting the computer in safe mode by pressing F8 at boot up you will have to keep tapping the key until the screen comes up with the option to start in safe mode, then try to uninstall the correct way first.

If that does not work try the method Moeee said but in safe mode.

Seems I didn't fix this comp as well as I thought as I can't get it to start in SAFE MODE, I get as far as the prompt and hit enter but then hit a wall with lots about "partition" etc?

So what size is the hard disk(s) in the unit?
And what is it about the particular Computer that you don't want to throw it away?

Sometimes things simply need let die a natural death.
Just let it go - after a few days the pain is gone.

It should be under C:\Program Files

If you look for Omnipage or perhaps Nuance you should find it. There might be an uninstall programme in the folder. if not just delete the folder (as long as you are 100% sure you've got the right one)

Then you might wanna run registry mechanic or similar to get rid of the unwanted registry entries. (Never understood the need for a central registry myself - much prefer the unix way of doing it with individual config files)

Disclaimer - If you f*ck it up - it's not my fault

I just bought this system the other day $1500 delivered.

Intel Core i7 2600K
Intel H67 Chipset Motherboard
8GB (2 x 4GB) Dual Channel DDR3 PC-10600 (1333MHz)
nVidia GeForce GTS450 1GB / 1024MB Video Card
60GB Solid State Drive
1000GB SATA III 7200rpm HDD
27" Full-HD LED Monitor
Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 64bit DVD
Keyboard & Mouse
Internal Card Reader
Case

Obviously you are a much more successful Punter than you had us believe

That is a good price Shaun.
I just did one for a client for $1200.00 without the SSD or monitor but a 2TB SATA hard drive.

i would start from scratch and rebuild windows back into the computer.
scan soft always seems difficult to remove
