Cannot Uninstall IEv7... Where did REMOVE go?

I need a sanity check...
I'm having a problem with accessing the Contact Manager within Office Live
Small Business (OLSB) in that my IEv7 (7.0.5730.11) crashes whenever I click
on that button. It appears to only happen when accessing this application.
Support at OLSB tell me I need to reload a fresh IEv7 and/or repair XP/SP3.
I'm attempting to follow the directions to remove IEv7 via the "Add or
Remove" listing but although IEv7 is listed as "currently installed", it does
not have a "REMOVE" button to allow me to do so.
I have attempted to repair IEv7, disabled all the add-ons, rebooted, but
still can't get OLSB Contact Mgr to work. I'm willing to do a complete
re-install, but can't uninstall what I have.

Sanity check:
Is it possible that IEv7 can be so stable everywhere else and only affect a
part of one application?
How do I get my Remove button back?

Thanks.
Junto

Suggestion, uninstall sp3 then ie7

Good luck!

Perhaps, if sp3 was installed ahead of ie7.

Which was installed first, IE7 or WinXP SP3? See...

IE and Windows XP Service Pack 3
http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/200...and-xpsp3.aspx

However, I'd very much doubt uninstalling IE7 would correct your problem,
Junto:

=> Does this behavior persist if you start IE7 in No Add-ons mode? To start
IE7 in No Add-ons mode:

1. Right-click on the blue IE desktop icon and select Start without Add-ons;
or

2. Start | (All) Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Internet Explorer
(No add-ons).

=> Does the problem persist if you Reset IE7 Advanced settings (RIES)?

Oh Boy... Did I learn a lot tonight...

The info from PA Bear was great. It clarified as to why I didn't have a
Remove button... I just wish I hadn't been so darn impatient. Had I waited
and read the input FIRST, then I probably wouldn't have tried to load another
copy of XP/SP3 and IEv7 on top of what I already had installed. It left my
PC pretty unstable.
However, I did manage to remove XP/SP3, then IEv7, then reinstall SP3, then
reinstall IEv7, rebooting a half dozen times along the way. I now have my
Remove button back.

Prior to almost royally screwing up my PC, I removed the last software I
loaded on my PC (Expression Web) and I was able to access the Contact Manager
in OLSB. I'm relatively happy now and have a profound gratitude for those of
you who contribute to this discussion group.

Many thanks.

Junto

YW, Junto, and thanks for your feedback.
