Learn2 Player-BSOD after uninstall

Caution

from WinCustomize Forums
Cleaning out programs tonight and ended up with the BSOD. I was going through and uninstalling programs I don't use and decided to delete Learn2 Player since I didn't know where it came from and why it's on my computor. Deleted and got a must restart message. When it restarted AVG came up but only as a window border, no contents, and everything was frozen. Did a hard reboot a couple of times but no help. Did F8 tried a couple of things, one of which brought the BSOD, found that a windows code was missing. Went to safe and did a system recovery and that worked. All I've been able to find is that it's installed with AOL 9. Which is no longer on my computor, thank God. Just a word of warning to anyone else who may have it on their computor.

do you have a Dell?

did you delete it or uninstall through add/remove?

HP. I removed it through Control Panel uninstall. Should have written down the missing win32 component that showed up after I ran the debugger, but I was sort of panicked. Didn't really know what to do with it anyway. Went to safe and did a system restore, not recovery. Worked out ok for not having a clue what I was doing. Don't know why it happened. AOL wouldn't put something harmful that I didn't ask for on my computor, would they? A side note, you have got to get DSL or cable sometime. I can waste so much more time faster now even with just 1.5 DSL.

from what i read earlier it's some sort of macromedia flash player for learning stuff from learn.com and others. i have hp - have a learn32.dll but no learn2 player

just asked about the dell since a lot of what i searched brought up it comes installed with dell but dell customer service doesn't know what it is.

glad you got it worked out

Evidently I am the chosen one on this one. I googled and clustied for about two hours and found no one who had a problem with it. Just people wondering what it was and how did it get here. It's great being special.

yeah, apparently everyone else had no problem using add/remove

Found the problem. Had to deactivate AVG for the uninstall to work properly.
