Hi all,
I went to add/remove programs this morning and none of the programs in my
list have the icon for removing/uninstalling. I am logged in as the
administrator. Windows XP Home Edition. I tried rebooting several times,
but to no avail. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
John

I cannot right click on any of the programs in the installed list. The only
thing my computer is showing is Frequency, Last Used and Size. There is no
option to repair or uninstall. This icons just disappeared as of a couple
of days ago sometime after I uninstalled a program from the list. There is
no internet connection and I have only installed original software from the
MFG, so a virus is unlikely. Thanks for anymore help.

oh yeh sorry was thinking of the vista one with the uninstall button at the
top. try turning off the check update check box and see if that helps . some
programs have the remove button missing anyway. is your account on your
computer an administrator account you may not have permission to remove
programs or have turned it off accidentaly otherwise try this
