I have a Dell Vostro 200 desktop, about 5 years old. I tried to update the latest Flipshare Video software but it corrupted partway through. system can't find the folders to uninstall so I can reinstall either the previous or the most up-to-date version. I tried the uninstall in safe mode as well with no luck.
flip is in husband's name so I can't contact flip for support, I don't have his data and he's no good at remembering.

Re: FlipshareVideo update corrupt

Before going farther you need to do some general maintenance
Run chkdsk /f via a cmd prompt and answer yes to the question. Shutdown and restart for check disk to run.
Run disk cleanup with everything checked off the accessories/system tool menu.
Run disk defragmenter off the same menu.
Now we know your file system is intact and the OS has room to do its thing.

Next step would be to restore from backup, if you made a backup

2nd step would be to do a restore point restore
Create a restore point

After that its totally up to flip support.
Flip support should be able to lookup the account based on your husbands name.

Re: FlipshareVideo update corrupt

Thank you for the help. I tried the the steps, but to no avail. The first round of support from flipshare tried was not successful. The problem has been elevated. I should hear back within 48 hours. It seems the old vesion of flipshare is tenacious and we can't uninstall it from my computer. the update was corrupted when I tried the install and I'm stuck.

Re: FlipshareVideo update corrupt

Still having problems. It seems I'm not the only one that's having a conflict with the flip software update and windows XP. I tried searching and wiping out everything that had anything to do with Flip video, even uninstalling Kodak easyshare. I've re-installed Service Pack3. I've tried a clean boot. Mr. Fixit tanked. I tried 7 registry commands:
Start>Run>cmd>ok
regsvr32 wuapi.dll
regsvr32 wuaueng.dll
regsvr32 wuaueng1.dll
regsvr32 wucltui.dll
regsvr32 wups.dll
regsvr32 wups2.dlll
regsvr32 wuweb.dll

I'm thinking when I wiped out Flip, then tried to install the update.
The error now reads:
flipshare has encountered an error. Please try robooting your machine. If the problem persists, contact customer support.
They guy hasn't contacted me in over a week.
Anyone have any ideas???
