How to UNINSTALL This Program!!!!!

Post by Sonny Jenkins »

Yesterday I installed a "music" program called iMesh,,,ever since I've been getting pop-up identified as "Friendship Cards",,,,when I click to open it turns out to be solicitations from "local" girls seeking companionship,,,LOL!!! When I try to uninstall I get a message saying uninstall can not be performed because it is running (I guess in memory???). How can I get rid of this d**n thing?????

Looks like you have to make sure it's not running before you uninstall it. If the icon appears in the lower right corner of your status bar, it's still running.

Try rebooting in Safe Mode:

1. Click Start and then click Shut Down.
2. In the drop-down list of the Shut Down Windows dialog box, click Restart, and then click OK.
3. As your computer restarts but before Windows launches, press F8.
On a computer that is configured for booting to multiple operating systems, you can press F8 when the boot menu appears.
4. Use the arrow keys to highlight the appropriate safe mode option, and then press ENTER.
5. If you have a dual-boot or multiple-boot system, choose the installation that you need to access using the arrow keys, and then press ENTER.
