Add/Remove programs shows the program but just gives me how much use it
has...There are NO remove options. So I tried to reinstall it using the
original cd and it says its already installed and that if I want it removed,
to go to Add/Remove in control panel to perform that function. I'm really
frustrated because its a huge program taking up a lot of Hard Drive Space
and the worst is MS doesn't support the 2006 version anymore and there are
no updates. Could someone please tell me how to get this forsaken program
off my computer? Should I manually start deleting MS Student 2006 folders?
TIA

What happens when you double click on the "Student 2006" line in the ADD/REMOVE window?

Crossposting is fine when done in moderation but I fail to see any
moderation in your case. Let's be a bit more moderate, especially with such
a trivial problem! Why, for example, would you post a program removal
question in a hardware group? Remember - program=software!

Use the scroll bar when viewing the list of programs to be uninstall. This
will probably make the "Remove" button appear.

On the Microsoft Student 2006 DVD line all I get is a line that specifies
"used" - Last Used On and "rarely." There are NOP remove options. I have
other programs that have remove options in my add/remove program but Student
doesn't have it..NOR does the Microsoft Student Graphing Calculator have it.
Please suggest something!

Sorry for the inconvenience but the scrollbar is working fine..as I scroll
down the list of programs and they are highlighting automatically..if this
is what you mean. As for your moderation comment, I fail to see the purpose
of your statement since I'm desperate to have this program removed and I'm
reaching out to ANYONE who is remotely connected with MS to offer some
advice. I "think" your advice has failed to resolve my "trivial" problem
however...

Did you check the Programs folder that contains the App shortcuts ?
The should be a shortcut to an uninstall or Add or Remove components.

In Control Panel, Add/Remove applet you should see at the least a
button on the app listing named "Change". Change will call the app's
Setup/configuration and should offer a Uninstall option.

Think your Registry needs "cleaning" or "repairing"? Read

Hello thanks for the response.
Unfortunately, there is no change option either. Just used & rarely...also,
the main folder where student was installed has no uninstall exe of any
kind. I checked it already
