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.

Re: Uninstall Missing in Programs Control Panel
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?

Re: Uninstall Missing in Programs Control Panel
Hi Jim,
Highlighted does not work, double clicking does nothing, right click does
nothing.
Suggestions? Thanks, Rick

Re: Uninstall Missing in Programs Control Panel
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?

Re: Uninstall Missing in Programs Control Panel
Same - issue - I have seen enough posts to convince me that there is an
underlying issue here.
Microsoft - please end the pain.
