How to uninstall musicmatch Jukebox
One of pushiest malfunctioning worst pieces of software on the Internet. It has been discontinued by Yahoo and if you have it on your computer, it would not be a good idea to try to upgrade it. This is what happened to me when I did:
It rendered my computer non functional so I could not open my control panel, or get to my hard drive.( It did, however, begin playing one of my songs that I did not request it to play and it failed to open the sound file I had originally tried to open.)
It would not let me delete it, or uninstall it. I had to do a system restore on my computer to the previous day before I had agreed to upgrade it. This did restore function to my computer and I could now get to my hard drive and to the control panel but it still would not let me uninstall or delete the folder it was contained in. I could not do a system restore to before the program was installed because my Dell computer came with the program already installed. Thank you very much, Dell.
Here are some suggestions that I found elsewhere on the Internet that did not work for me when the musicmatch jukebox program would not let me uninstall or delete certain .dll files.
1. rename the file then delete it. ...Did not work.
2. Use Analog X super shredder.. Did not work
3. Move the file.... Did not work.
4. Uninstall from control panel "add and remove programs" ...Did not work.
THANK GOD FOR SAFE MODE.
I needed to uninstall this pushy obnoxious program because it disabled my entire computer after I agreed to a nagging in my face upgrade. First, in order to even get to my hard drive or control panel, I had to do a system restore. Then I tried every which way to delete and/or uninstall this thing and still nothing worked.
Finally, I had to reboot into safe mode and then went to the folder C:/program files/ and and just deleted the entire folder called musicmatch.
Then I made sure I deleted it from the recycle bin.
Then I rebooted my computer and did a registry repair to clean out left over files.
What evil scum sucking programmers wrote this program? They should all go to cyber prison and rot. This program sucks. Any program that removes your ability to uninstall it is not worthy to be on my computer. Nuff said.
Yahoo has since replace this program with something else, but I don't think I'm interested.
