Re: Search Enhancement Pack

Ok.. This is getting crazy... I've uninstalled all Windows Live Essentials,
including Writer, Messenger, Toolbar, etc. I've completed all of the
suggested "msiexec /x" keys and the dang folder STILL keeps popping up!!!
I've been working on this for three hours now and have read and completed all
of the suggestions here and other websites and the Search Enhancement Pack
still keeps popping up everytime I reboot.... What in the world????????

Re: Search Enhancement Pack

Jonathan,
Thanks so much for helping me solve this annoying problem. I thought I (or
my son) had done something wrong. I must have spent hours trying to figure
out how to resolve this. Ofcourse the previous message contained the wrong
key so I continued to be frustrate until I re-read your message. This just
begun to happen about a month or so ago.
THANKS AGAIN!!!

Re: Search Enhancement Pack

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!! I have tried every single suggestion in this whole string of postings to stop this obnoxious "service enhancement pack" from opening on bootup. None of the links have worked (the ones I enter in "run"), and in msconfig>services tab there is nothing called "seago". I have tried going directly to Program Files>Microsoft>Search Enhancement Pack to try to delete the folders, and it will not let me do so.

It should NOT be this difficult to get rid of an unwanted thing like this. HOW DO I GET RID OF THIS HORRIBLE THING FOR GOOD????????

Hi. What you do is go into My Computer. Click on C drive. Click on Program
Files. Then delete the folder that says microsoft . And that is that.
Hope it helps

FOR ANYONE THAT NEEDS TO KNOW THE ANSWER, go to my computer. Click on C
drive. Then click on program files. Next, delete the folder that is called
microsoft. No other folders with microsoft in the mane, just the microsoft
one. It worked for me.
I hope this helps everyone out there.

RE: Search Enhancement Pack

Removing MSN Tool bar also removes the enhancement pack.

Re: Search Enhancement Pack

The "fix" below did not work for me. Instead this warning message popped up:
"Error deleting File or Folder. Cannot delete SeaPort.exe Access is denied.
Make sure the disc is not full or write-protected and that the file is not
currently in use." NOW WHAT??

SUPPOSED FIX > ...go to My Computer. Click on C drive. Then click on program
files. Next, delete the folder that is called microsoft. No other folders
with microsoft in the name, just the microsoft one.
