Uninstall Missing in Programs Control Panel

I needed to uninstall a program. So, I went Start-->Control
Panel-->Programs-->Uninstall a Program. Once the windo populated the
"Uninstall" option was missing for all prgrams. There was only "Organinize"
and "View."

I'm lost, any ideas?

Thanks, Rick

Highlight a listed program and the uninstall/change option should appear.

Hi Rick,

I don't know on this one. If you don't know where the individual
uninstall is for each program, you can download the Free CCleaner
program & use it's Uninstall feature in a pinch until you get this
resolved. It'll be under the Tools section in CCleaner. Here's the
link:

'_http://ccleaner.com/_'
(http://ccleaner.com/)

Hope this helps for now,
Shawn

Uninstall doesn't show up until you click on an individual entry in the
list. Does that not happen?

Hi Jim,

Highlighted does not work, double clicking does nothing, right click does
nothing.

Suggestions? Thanks, Rick

I have the same issue and although this works surely there is a fix for this
in Windows or is the uninstall feature not an option in Vista?

Same - issue - I have seen enough posts to convince me that there is an
underlying issue here.

Microsoft - please end the pain.
