I have no change/remove button on my programs in the Add/Remove Programs screen?

I don;t see the change/remove button on my add and remove for some of my programs one day it was gone. I'm long on as the administrator and still don't see it and I need to delete some programs. Can someone tell me how to fix this?I have no change/remove button on my programs in the Add/Remove Programs screen?Try going to Start%26gt;All Programs and see if there is an uninstall in the file you want to deleteI have no change/remove button on my programs in the Add/Remove Programs screen?Open the control panel. click on programs, then on uninstall programs. This should open a window of all your programs. Once you click on the program you wish to uninstall or change, the window will open asking you if you want to uninstall or change. I hope this helps you.I have no change/remove button on my programs in the Add/Remove Programs screen?If you tried deleting them before you actually uninstalled them then that could have caused the problem.



What kind of programs are they? If you know the name then try searching %26quot;remove SOFTWARE NAME%26quot;. Software name is the place where you will put the name of that software to put in search.



You can also go to their individual folders and find the uninstall button.I have no change/remove button on my programs in the Add/Remove Programs screen?You need to install the software again and you get the Change/Remove Options since the software might have been partially deleted by you.I have no change/remove button on my programs in the Add/Remove Programs screen?You can try to run a check disk to see if it will fix the file http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265I have no change/remove button on my programs in the Add/Remove Programs screen?REMOVE PROGRAMS:
