It is very easy for a student to uninstall, modify or repair a software. You don’t have to spend your last penny on a technician who will do a small task you would have taken care of. Non- IT students are no exceptions, you can learn how to remove buggy programs, modify them or repair the programs.
If you own a laptop or a desktop computer, then you are equal to the task of fixing your own laptop or desktop computer. In this blog post, I will be sharing with you on how you can uninstall a software when it bugs down your computer, modify the software or repair it for good.
Microsoft windows has a tool which lists almost all the installed applications on your computer. This list is a great way to add/remove/modify the software. To load this "Add or Remove Programs" list, type appwiz.cpl in to the start menu (if you are using Windows 7) or type it in the run dialog box and click on ok.
Type appwiz.cpl in to the start menu if you are using Windows 7. Use the run box if you are using Windows XP…
Type appwiz.cpl in the run box and click on ok . This will load Add or Remove Programs list. Clicking on any software item in the list will bring up a choice of options on the blue toolbar. Usually these are Uninstall, Change or Repair.
Uninstall will remove the software from your computer, including data files, registry entries and start menu/desktop shortcuts.
Modify allows you to change the software install, for example adding or removing components in an office suite.
Repair can be performed if the software is missing files or behaving incorrectly. This will attempt to replace corrupt or changed files with the originals.
Once you have selected the operation to perform, the installation wizard will guide you through the rest of the process. This can vary depending on each application, but it should be straight-forward to follow.
