RE: Missing Uninstall button in Window Vista

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I have the same problem as everyone else here. I decided on a new security
system and can't get rid of the old Norton system on here (because of the
lack of an uninstall button which was there at one time and then mysteriously
disappeared) which is causing all sorts of problems. I tried manually
removing Norton in explorer but there is only so much you are allowed to
manually remove which probably made it worse. So now I am running Trend and
Norton is sending me all kinds of error messages everytime the computer
boots...even after shutting "off" all of the security tasks. Maybe I should
try reinstalling Norton and then the uninstall button will show back up? I
am leary of doing this because I don't want to screw up my Trend
system....anyone tried this? Do the microsoft people ever read these because
I can't believe they haven't come up with a fix for this obnoxious problem
yet.

Same here. However, when following the instructions, some of my programs
listed have the uninstall button appear but the programs I'm really
interested in uninstalling the uninstall button does not appear.
Case in point: I recently installed Roxio 10 but noticed all my Roxio 9.0
are still installed. Trying to get rid of that program (close to 1gig with
content)
Any Ideas?

You're not alone with this problem! It just happened to me as well. I'm
guessing within the last week or so. Anybody have a registry fix for this
issue? I'd assume it would be a registry fix...

I am having the same problem and think it is because of the last update that
I installed. I tried to restore to a point before that and it was
unsuccessful. I dont know what to do now. I tried all the solutions given
here like feifei did and to no avail. I need serious help!

I am trying to uninstall a program in Window Vista home Premium. I goto:

Control Panel -> Uninstall a program

It indicates "To uninstall a program, select it from the list then click
"Uninstall", .." But I don't see any "Uninstall" button there. I believe I
saw it before, but not its gone. Please help. Thanx.
