Uninstalling in vista!

MadMacs · 12 Jun 2007 at 19:25

hey, i've just tried to uninstall a few programs in vista. Went to the usual place (Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features)

But the uninstall or repair option are not there

, and the programs seem to be more expanded (Instead of just having office 2007 it's got all the sub things too)

Got a picture to explain better

Would just unistall from program Files but safari doesn't have an unistall option there! :confused:

Really annoying must have somehow changed a setting!
Cheers

It now seems that the only program with the uninstall option is utorrent. Which probably indicates a bigger problem ? :mad:

you select this as Windows Live Messagner - move the cursor up to Microsoft and see if it appear "Uninstall"... let us know if it come up or not

think hes refering to it disappearing with software that doesnt use vistas funtion but rather its own...or not possible full stop, so suggests selecting others to see what changes

what are you trying to uninstall anyway?

I think if you click on my computer above all the drive info etc on the top line is the uninstall feature now instead of control panel
