Can't uninstall Upromise remindu

[julie07]

I have Upromise toolbar and remindu on my pc. The other day upromise offered an update, I couldn't do it as I was in a hurry and said.. "remind me later". Since then, my pc was at almost 100% CPU usage. The culprit was Upromise remindu. I uninstalled the toolbar, figuring I would just do a clean install and be ok. It didn't uninstall the "Remindu" feature. I can't make it go away. It is really slowing my pc down.

Please help!
I have ie7

Thanks

Welcome to CTH Julie. We can use a utility to help with this. Go here (http://www.cybertechhelp.com/getfile.php?id=99) and download Hijack This v1.99 to your Desktop. When you have downloaded it, doubleclick to install. Once installed, open Hijack This and click on scan. Most of the files listed will be harmless and/or required so do not make any changes, just click on Save Log, copy it and post it back in this thread.

Thank you - here is the log. I don't know if you can help me on this too I was on the HP website - to get some help last night with my HP software not being recognized so that everytime I start my pc it tries to load HP printer software. They had me go to msconfig, remove everything with HP and restart and now I am also having problems with the restart. It keeps saying that the systems restart is changed. Then it looks for disc. I think HP gave me more problems than help, but maybe that is a separate thread or I should contact them again. I know enough to be dangerous! :)

Regarding the problem with your printer, what HP model do you have and has it ever run ok on this computer?

[julie07]

I did the fix and steps. Much better now! Thanks SO much!

Regarding the printer - it's HP 1350 all-in-one. I think that when I did the msconfig and did what they said - remove all things associated with the printer, that caused a problem. I told him my laptop is an HP, so maybe I did something. Last night I also got warnings about memory issues that windows was trying to fix. I cleaned everything up - temp files etc and defragged and shut down. Seems much better today. When I restarted today, I am not getting all the "reconfig" warnings. Now I am getting the windows no disk error - "Exception processingmessage C0000013 parameters 75b6bf9c (which repeats twice).

I have had this printer since I bought the laptop and never had problems until I installed ie7. I should get smart, stop being lazy and download a different browser system I am guessing!

Thanks for your help - I appreciate it.

[AnnMarie]

Try running msconfig again and rechecking all disabled items. Reboot and if you still get an error message regarding your printer, try uninstalling it and reinstalling it. Make sure that all running programs (including your antivirus program) are shut down when you reinstall it. Let us know if this helped.
