I installed a trial version of Word Perfect and I want to delete it and
it will not let me. I go to my add/remove programs and click on remove
and it just reinstalls it. How do I get rid of it? Is that normal? I
have never come across that before. Never had a problem with deleting.
Can anybody offer and type of help please?

ID SAY NO ITS NOT NORMAL.....TRY REBOOTING YOUR COMPUTER THEN TRY
DELETING IT AGAIN.....SEE WHAT HAPPENS!!!

I have rebooted twice.

shoot it

What if you use the software repair wizzard and go back to the time
before you installed it?

is it a downloaded version?if so you MIGHT have a virus.

I do not know how to use the software wizard.


And Joe, I am virus free. It is a download version, but it came right
from, Corel.


And I am not about to shoot my computer!

Email Corel support...they can help you with the problem.

Rather than shoot it just give it a good kicking

>> And Joe, I am virus free.

The last time a woman told me that...

Whisper,

Often the Add/Remove programs facility uses the same program to
install as to remove, just with different options selected. Maybe you
are telling it to remove, but that is not being selected properly - I
would watch the process very carefully, and look for the chance to
change options. Maybe there is a window with multiple tabs, so at first
you don't see all the options unless you explore the tabs. Due to some
small bug, you might have to tell it -twice- that you are trying to
remove, not install.

sounds like it is just fixing/repairing file from the add/remove
programs....try right clicking the icon used to start that program,then
go to properties,then go to find target.you will now be in that programs
main directory and the uninstaller should be in that folder.hope that
works for ya

I've ran into this problem many times in xp....i usualy just end up
removing it via regedit, but if you've never messed with the registry
then i wouldn't suggest taking that route.

I actually did mess with the registry. When I tried to crack it. I will
just leave it. I can still use it for some reason. So maybe the cracked
really did work?

But thank you everybody

Coke all around

smack it or duct tape it

shake some chocolate sprinkles on it !!!!! And then nicely ask it to
behave ...... or no more chocolate!!!

Hey I like the idea of a duct tape computer!

ACK Geez that bird scared the hell outa me!! Ya wanna borrow my roll ??

If it is XP, then use the Restore command to restore your 'puter back to
a time before you installed WP.

.. or reinstall it (thereby sorting the registry out)

then when the computer is booting up, go in to safe mode (f8) and then
use the add/remove programs option.

The program will not have loaded by then,and it will be deleted.
