| | Cannot Uninstall Programs through Control panel When I attempt to uninstall certain unwanted programs an error windows pops up reporting: "The System administrator has set policies to prevent this installation." I hit OK. another warning box pops up: "You do not have sufficient access to <program>. Please contact your system administrator. " This error occurs when I try to uninstall: "Microsoft Visual C++ 2005" , "Microsoft SQL server 2005 ... ", and a google toolbar. I am the only user of this computer. I recently upgraded from windows XP and the Visual Studios was on the "incompatibility warning" given when installing vista, But I don't understand why I would have problems with permissions while uninstalling these programs. What gives? Why can't I uninstall these programs? |

| | Re: Cannot Uninstall Programs through Control panel Just a thought, but did you log back on as the Administrator? If you do and there is still a problem, you might want to disable (I think it's called) the user account control which can be found in the control panel.
