Viewpoint Manager

In my Control Pnael is an item entitled Viewpoint Manager. The items Icon is
a Blank sheet and when you try to open it a Window opens reading "Application
Not Installed". So this Icon, Viewpoint Mamager in my Control Panel does
nothing and I want to delete the Icon. How do I do that?

Viewpoint Manager is not a Microsoft-supplied part of Windows.

It gets installed as part of Viewpoint Media Player, and other products
which include Viewpoint technology, such as AOL, AIM, some Adobe products
etc. Apparently many Sony computers include a copy of Viewpoint, for some
reason.

If you can identify the product which is using Viewpoint on your PC, you can
uninstall, or re-install that product using the Programs icon in Control
Panel.

Hope it helps,

RE: Viewpoint Manager

I had this exact problem. The only thing that worked was to delete viewpoint
manager from the registry editor. In the start menu, type "regedit" in the
search box. When it opens, click "Edit" then click "Find" and type in
"viewmgr." Delete everything that comes up (just be sure the words "viewmgr"
or "viewpoint manager" are there before you delete it. You don't want to
accidentally delete something important. After this, the icon will disappear
from the control panel. Problem solved.

RE: Viewpoint Manager

Nevermind, I noticed one small problem with that solution. Don't try it yet.
