| | Unable to remove some programs Logged on with admin authority I can remove some programs through control panel, programs and features, but not many including trial version of MS Office 2007, MS SQL Server, MySQL Server, Skype, Open Office etc, etc. All the programs I would like to remove were installed using the same admin user. I believe I have seen this problem reported quite a while back, but cannot find a solution. The Uninstall, Change, Repair options do not come up on the window or context menu. Any idea what is preventing my being able to remove these programs as I see fit? |
