Microsoft Works 2000 not coming off when trying to install MW 2006

[Guest]

I have Microsoft Works 2000 on my computer now and I am trying to install the
new Microsoft Works 2006. When I started installing the Microsoft Works 2006
it said that Microsoft Works 2000 had to be uninstalled and it asked if I
wanted to uninstall it. So I uninstalled it and it gave me an error message
saying "Setup is unable register tasks" I clicked OK and then it said "Fatal
error during installation". Then I went to Add or Remove Programs and tried
uninstalling Microsoft Works 2000 from there and it went crazy. I don't know
what to do. Can anyone help me to get Microsoft Works 2000 off of my computer?

Please repost your question in a Windows newsgroup appropriate for your
version of Windows. This newsgroup is for the database software Microsoft
Access.

The webpage can be confusing - please scroll down the list of subjects on the
left of the screen and find one for your version of Windows. It would help to
indicate what version of Windows you're using and whether you're up to date
with service packs.
