Cannot uninstall

When I try to uninstall a program, I get "The system administrator has set
policies to prevent this installation", followed by "You do not have
sufficient access to uninstall Retrospect 6.5. Please contact your system
administrator."

But I am the system administrator - in fact, the only user. What can I do,
please?

Re: Cannot uninstall

Are you working on a Domain??
Maybe some GPO are applied on your user.

Re: Cannot uninstall

I'm with you. I have no idea. What they are talking about. Does anyone have
"vista uninstall for dummies"?

Re: Cannot uninstall

Has anyone tried searching for an answer to this problem elsewhere? I'm
having the same EXACT problem and it's driving me nuts. Mine is to the point
that I'm having problems installing too because of the same error message.
I'm glad I'm not alone, but this problem is beyond frustrating.

Any help is more than greatly appreciated!! :-)
