Yes I would like to uninstall it and Photo Gallery and Collaboration and
Journal. I've been a week taking off all the Trial programs hp put on this
poor little computer. I don't mean to offend anyone, just clean up my
computer so when I run Power Defrag and Norton it doesn't take hours. I've
never seen so many programs I didn't want on a computer that was supposed to
be just a stock computer. If it can't be done I'll take out Vista and put in
a stock XP. I don't need a yahoo anything, no stock market ticker tape, the
few programs I have to worry about going out to the internet collecting and
sending without my knowing it the better. I just purchased two new computers
because one of my programs went out to the internet and left the door open.
There should be some way to get a plain brown wrapper computer.

So can you help me remove any of this stuff I don't want or not?
Thanks in advance,
Bill in Las Vegas
