Can't uninstall Microsoft Student 2006!!

September 27, 2008

Add/Remove programs shows the program but just gives me how much use it

has...There are NO remove options. So I tried to reinstall it using the

original cd and it says its already installed and that if I want it removed,

to go to Add/Remove in control panel to perform that function. I'm really

frustrated because its a huge program taking up a lot of Hard Drive Space

and the worst is MS doesn't support the 2006 version anymore and there are

no updates. Could someone please tell me how to get this forsaken program

off my computer? Should I manually start deleting MS Student 2006 folders?

TIA

What happens when you double click on the "Student 2006" line in the ADD/REMOVE window?

Crossposting is fine when done in moderation but I fail to see any

moderation in your case. Let's be a bit more moderate, especially with such

a trivial problem! Why, for example, would you post a program removal

question in a hardware group? Remember - program=software!

Use the scroll bar when viewing the list of programs to be uninstall. This

will probably make the "Remove" button appear.

On the Microsoft Student 2006 DVD line all I get is a line that specifies

"used" - Last Used On and "rarely." There are NOP remove options. I have

other programs that have remove options in my add/remove program but Student

doesn't have it..NOR does the Microsoft Student Graphing Calculator have it.

Please suggest something!

Sorry for the inconvenience but the scrollbar is working fine..as I scroll

down the list of programs and they are highlighting automatically..if this

is what you mean. As for your moderation comment, I fail to see the purpose

of your statement since I'm desperate to have this program removed and I'm

reaching out to ANYONE who is remotely connected with MS to offer some

advice. I "think" your advice has failed to resolve my "trivial" problem

however...

Re: Can't uninstall Microsoft Student 2006!!

Did you check the Programs folder that contains the App shortcuts ?

The should be a shortcut to an uninstall or Add or Remove components.

In Control Panel, Add/Remove applet you should see at the least a

button on the app listing named "Change". Change will call the app's

Setup/configuration and should offer a Uninstall option.

Think your Registry needs "cleaning" or "repairing"? Read
