Uninstalling programs - Error 1719

[John King]

I have tried to use the Control Panel Add/Remove programs the remove two
that are surplus. I keep getting an Error 1719 although i'm not working in
safe mode and have had no difficulty in the past.
Any ideas please?

Thanks John King

Hi John,

here are a couple of things you might try--see this MS article:
