Hi,

Click start/run, type or copy/paste this line:

%windir%\$NtServicePackUninstall\spuninst\spuninst.exe

Then click ok. This will start the uninstall process. If it fails with "file
not found" or "path does not exist" message, then you do not have an
uninstall option. If you get errors regarding access permissions, then it
means your user account does not have sufficient priviledges on the system.
You would need to log off, then back on as administrator.
