Trouble removing a program.
B4-Capture.exe
It's from Beamyourscreen.com an browser based share screen program I was testing. I didn't meet up to my standards and I've moved on, but the notes saying you don't have to install any programs is bull. This is from their crap and I want it gone.
However, it does not show up in the program list.
I can not end the process.
I can not locate any file of that name.
I can always system restore my laptop, but .... well lets just say I want to avoid that on my desktop and leave it at that.Dispatch the DooM

Re: Trouble removing a program.
From the company's FAQ page:
6.14 How do I uninstall BeamYourScreen? What can I do if the regular uninstall process is not working?
If the regular uninstall process is not working please right-click on the BeamYourScreen shortcut on your desktop and select properties. Here you will find the file location. Please navigate to the named file location, start the remover.exe (or uninstall.exe), and this will uninstall BeamYourScreen completely.
According to this the location of the file is
%APPDATA%\BeamYourScreen 4\B4-Capture.exe
Make sure that you search the registry for b4-capture type strings, and or beamyourscreen type things (if you are comfortable in the registry). Make note of those places.
Then restart PC.
Boot into safe mode, navigate to that location on the disk and delete with extreme prejudice.
While in safe mode, remove those registry key locations (if you found any).
Restart and that ought to resolve your issue.
But try the FAQ given steps first.

Re: Trouble removing a program.
The bolded tells you it is most likely a service.
If you are running windows 7 in the process list right click and say 'go to service'.
Right click on the now highlighted service and say stop..... then click the button in the bottom right corner called 'Services...'
Find the service in there and set it to never start.........
Now if when you did the right click go to service it did not highlight anything, then it isn't a service and is something else.-- Intentionally Left Blank --
