RichFX player and NPVPG004.DLL
Aster wrote:
I uninstalled old RichFX player from Add/Remove programs(there was just entry in Add/Remove program list, but was no program itself in Program files). The confirmation was shown that program was uninstalled. Uninstallation removed also RichFX folder from C:\Program Files\Common Files\ Amongst other files there was NPVPG004.DLL in that folder. I searched for NPVPG004.DLL in registry, and it show a vast quantity of keys referred to this NPVPG004.DLL, [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{47f591a1-8783-11d2-8343-00a0c945a819}\ToolboxB itma p32] @="C:\\PROGRAM FILES\\COMMON FILES\\RICHFX\\NPVPG004.DLL, 1" etc Is there other programs that may use this NPVPG004.DLL? Is it safe to remove all these keys that referred to NPVPG004.DLL? According to... http://www.appdeploy.com/software/browse.asp ....that .dll has to do with RichFX Player & RichFX AutoUpdate. And the way to uninstall them is... RunDll32 C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\RichFX\npvpg004.dll,Uninstall _Player RunDll32 C:\PROGRA~1\RichFX\Player\npvpg004.dll,Uninstall_P layer RunDll32 C:\PROGRA~1\RichFX\Player\npvpg004.dll,Uninstall_A utoUpdate You paste those into a run box ("START button, Run") & hit enter. The first two get rid of the player. You choose the one that has the correct path to the .dll -- or substitute your path, if different. The third gets rid of the AutoUpdate. Again, substitute your path, if different. That is what Add/Remove should have done -- but try it anyway, if you still have a copy of npvpg004.dll. After that, try... C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\Regsvr32.exe /u /i npvpg004.dll ....which might unregister the .dll (remove it from the registry), according to... http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;EN-US;Q249873 If you still are left with a registry full of junk after that... http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&s... &aqi=g6g-s1g3 Google has about 9,100 for uninstall RichFX. Read through a bunch & get back to us with a plan. If it comes to manually removing those registry entries, what you've posted is one of probably many CLSIDs -- those are complex! I'd want to delete the ones that apply to RichFX Player at the CLSID level. The one you posted would be... [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{47f591a1-8783-11d2-8343-00a0c945a819}] ....& I'd want to search for the CLSID number & delete that too, if it exists in other keys. Definitely, backup the registry first...!... (1) "START button, Run, ScanReg" Offers to make a new backup. (2) "START, Find, RB???.cab" Shows the current registries. Copy the newest one that is in C:\Windows\SysBckUp to a safe location, because the system only keeps five. The oldest of the five is deleted on the 1st successful boot to Windows per day. Also, step (1) deletes the oldest. And even a registry restore will delete the oldest to make room for saving the current registry at the time of the restore. Now, do your registry deletes (if it comes to that) & run for a while to be sure all is OK. Don't do any major install or uninstall until you are willing to forgo the backup you have made & protected -- because it won't be reflected in there. To restore the protected one, you'd have to copy it back into C:\Windows\SysBckUP -- & remove one of the others -- because only 5 are offered by the ScanReg /Restore process. thanks. -- Thanks or Good Luck, There may be humor in this post, and, Naturally, you will not sue, Should things get worse after this, PCR |
