Hello, I have a USB Rio S 30s mp3 player. I have not put new songs in it for a while. So now's the time. The problem is, I would like to use it with the new computer like I did with the old one. They are both windows xp. It's supposed to show up in window explorer as a storage device, but it's not. All drivers are up to date. The computer sees it in device manager under usb devices.

Uninstall Brightmail plugin silently with msiexec doesnt work?
by Guest markm75- 1 reply
- 73 views
I've tried using this format to remove this program.. msiexec /x "{GUID HERE}" /quiet This doesnt work.. If you take off the /quiet.. it pops up asking if you want to uninstall the plugin.. If you put the /quiet on.. it will briefly show that pop up window then disappear, but the app isnt uninstalled... I really need a way to remove this app from multiple computers (using sms 2003) with this command line, so users aren't prompted or see anything related to it... Any thoughts out there?
