I started installing a program when my computer crashed. I had to basically shut it down manually. When I tried to re-install the program, it said that I needed to stop a previous installation first. The problem is, I don't know where or how to stop it.


ne suggestions?

what was you installing??? cos it could be possible one of the programme files is clashing with another file on your computer.

yes..that just may be so, because some programs are meant to do that....

but try this...press "control +alt+delete" and exit out evertything thats running.....should help out....

Hello everyone

yeah, but that will only work if the installation is still running in atleast the background, but if he has re-booted then chances are it wont be so therefore it wouldnt help.

try that, but if nothing is there, erm delete the folder the programmes created and all contents and delete the file you downloaded to start the install aswell, cos if it isnt there at all, it cant install. if none of them work, let me know.

I was tryna install Limewire and the Java it was puttin on my comp crashed my system


now, the Java is actin strange and Limewire won't even install

im not a fan of limewire its infested with viruses just like kazaa is.

Well it may work. Just need to manually uninstall anything that has to deal with limewire and its Java, then reinstall it again. To do that, go to "Add or Remove Programs", and it should have a long list of programs. Look for the Java that you said was installed by Limewire and Limewire itself. Usually, when something like that happens, it causes the program to "half install" itself. But yea, that should help. Just be careful and dont remove anything that will cause you to buy a new comp because you deleted the drivers off your computer, lol.
