Hello lin,
I hope you know what you are doing if you try to uninstall pieces of software !!!
Then, you should try to uninstall these with the Administrator rights : try again !

All right !

If you are unable to uninstall a Third Party Software, MS suggests you try to re-install that application and then uninstall it.

Hello again and thank you so much for replying - I am getting myself in a state here - lol. I cant sign on as Administrator - I have tried F8 - I have tried ctrl+alt=del - switch user - no good. What I want to do seems a simple execution - it is driving me mad! I will try your link and thank you again.

Hi,
If you need to act as an Administrator, you should know the Administrator's password !
When you call the Uninstall program by clicking on it, it's either by left-clicking twice (standard user) or by right-cliking once : in this case, within the window next prompted, you get the option to run the program as an Administrator : to proceed forward, you are expecter to enter the Administrator's password !
If you don't know that password, there is no way to proceed further with the Administrator's rights... :( La supériorité du QI ne compense pas la médiocrité du cœ­ur.­
