account control but it still doesnt uninstall it doesnt seem to do
anything. I am inexperienced with computers but am able to uninstall on
my p.c so why cant i uninstall with vista?

Windows Vista >> cannot uninstall programs Hi, Shooter13.

First question: HOW are you trying to uninstall something?

Second question: What is "something"?

You should be able to uninstall just about any program by clicking Start |
Control Panel | Programs and Features. Is that what you are doing? You
didn?t say, and we can't watch your computer, so we have to ask.

What are you trying to uninstall?
Was it pre-installed when you bought the PC?
Was Vista pre-installed or did you install it yourself?

Windows Vista >> cannot uninstall programs To add to the above, are you seeing any messages such as Access Denied?

Goto Control Panel > User Accounts
The word "Administrator" should appear under your name.
If not, then you will need to log in with an administrator account.

Windows Vista >> cannot uninstall programs
O.k sorry for late response.

This laptop came with windows vista.

I am trying to uninstall a number of things.
amongst which are a online poker site and real player.

I have gone to control panel, programs and features, uninstall
program
clicked uninstall
whereupon the message read
User Account Control
Windows needs your permission to continue

I click continue.

then up pops this:
Installed updates you do not have suffiecient access to uninstall rea
player.
Please contact your system administrator.

I have gone to user account control i have selected the option to tur
user account control on or off i get the message needs your permissio
to continue i click continue.
Then i have tried to uninstall again but it still tells me to contac
my system administrator
