PLEASE READ!!!
 
HELP! I’ve downloaded the Nokia 6600 Multimedia Player from the following link;
http://www.gromkov.com/faq/faq2004-0072.html
This took ages as I have dial up! Once I downloaded and installed it, someone went on the PC and deleted it!! I downloaded it again from the above link, and after another 2 hours of painfully slow downloading, when I tried to install it, it said that another Nokia Multimedia Player was already running!! I searched ABSOLUTLY EVERYWHERE and I deleted files until the only Nokia file was the application to install the Media Player that I had downloaded from the above link. IT STILL SAYS THERE IS ANOTHER NOKIA MULTIMEDIA PLAYER RUNNING!!!

Could someone PLEASE help me??!! I’m hoping that one of you kind, handsome fellow Oddworld fans will;

A; tell me how to fix it

Or

B; give me the link to another free application that can convert avi. & mpg/mpeg videos to 3gp videos.

I am willing to kiss Hobos' ring AND spell correctly in return for any help!! Thank you most kindly!

Have you a) restarted the computer or b) tried fiddling with the registry settings to ensure that a past install is not still being registered?

Hobo 06-14-2007 11:49 PM

Well that'll teach you to delete files instead of using an uninstaller.

Noob.

Strike Witch 06-15-2007 12:01 AM

Indeed, T'was quite a dumb Idea. Perhaps you should label stuff you don't want deleted?

Jordan 06-15-2007 06:29 AM

Lmao. :lol: I laugh at your stupidity. Use the Uninstaller in future.

Agreed....Sometimes I don't see why people can't just leave people who make nooby mistakes or say nooby things alone...

Fortesque13 06-15-2007 01:11 PM

hmmm... Maybe it hasn't even been deleted. Just moved. And if it runs at startup or in the background or something you might be able to stop it by using the task manager's processes tab. It'll be hard to find it though.

Gerard-Blaize 06-15-2007 03:18 PM

my sister went on it and deleted it. it wasn't moved or uninstalled. she thought it was taking up too much memory... -.-
i am not too hot on PCs but i do uninstall stuff. not THAT slow!! although in terms of PCs, i am noobie. I've already tried task manager Fortesque. I'm sorta hoping that someone has a link to another free app. that converts mpg and avi. to 3gp.

Nate 06-15-2007 05:25 PM

Take a look at the first question on this page: http://www.theage.com.au/articles/20...?from=storyrhs

Just be really careful with your registry editor as it's possible to right royally screw up your computer with it.

Technically I didn't call him stupid. I just said he was being stupid. I win.

No. You fail because I don't want to fail.

Doubt it....Unless there is a banning link I don't know about....

You do have a bad sense of humour, and a bad sense of using the :p emoticon. :nonono: More like you fail.

Fortesque13 06-19-2007 12:51 PM

I HAVE a SOLUTION! I actually gave myself so much time to think about it
(1 minute) and came up with the idea. Go to the control panel/add or remove programs. That should do it, just click on remove. I should know, I delete all the stuff instead of uninstalling cause it takes sooo darrrnn looongggg. Then I want to reinstall and get the same error message. The control panel thing helps.

Nate 06-19-2007 04:44 PM

Won't work because if he's deleted any file to do with the progam, then he'll have deleted the uninstall program.

Now can we please keep this on topic, gents and ladies?

Fortesque13 06-19-2007 05:27 PM

NO! The program will still appear on the list and if he wants to remove it there will be a message saying something like:"the program might have been deleted, do you want to remove it from the list?". Something like that... Although, for the majority of programs that I have deleted (including uninstall.exe) the uninstall still performed by some miracle. He could try, if it doesn't work then try registry change which is more risky.

But it seems he hasn't posted in a while now, so I'll take it as he tried the registry change, but screwed something up and now he can't post.

Jordan 06-19-2007 10:46 PM

I hate it when if you click uninstall it can't find the uninstallation file. I feel like bashing Windows so bad for that. What is the point in all these error messages!?
