Uninstalling Software

[Irish4753]

I recently purchase a new pc with Windows Vista Home Premium. We have one
user account with a password. I installed some new software and decided to
uninstall it - I keep getting a message "The system administrator has set
policies to prevent this installation". I then get a message that says "you
do not have enough access to uninstall this program. Please contact your
system administrator". Can someone please walk me through what I need to do
to uninstall the software. Thanks!

Have you tried disabling UAC temporarily?

Can you tell me how to do that please? I know I did it one day last week to
uninstall some other software, but my mind is a complete blank. Thanks.

Go into "User Accounts", select your account, click "Turn User Account
Control on or off", uncheck the box, restart. Then uninstall your program,
enable UAC, restart.

Thanks Mark! The pc is new, VISTA is new to me, and I was just drawing a
blank, but knew it had to be something relatively easy!

I had the same problem and turning UAC off was the solution. Thanks Mark!
