Learn2 Player-BSOD after uninstall
Caution
Monday, February 20, 2006 by Majic7 | Discussion: Personal Computing
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.

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.

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.

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