Deleting programs on XP Media Center.

by MagicVII Jul 27, 2007 2:40PM PDT

Have an HP dv5000 with around only 80 gb and running out of room. For some reason when I go to Add/Remove programs, it doesn't have an option to change/remove. Things like Works and Powerpoint Viewer which came on the comp I can't delete and they are taking up a lot of room.

How do you delete programs like this? Tried deleting the key through the run option - regedt32; but didn't work.

Also... how do I delete the partition on my laptop? hae made setup disc and the partition takes up almost 15 gb of needed space.

Also if you notice I have a few frameworks, had to manually download newer update; do I delete the older versions?

Regarding add/remove issue.

Check this LINK

You could also try CCLEANER,which offers three versions,I use the slim build.This program has a uninstall feature.

Also Add-Remove Pro

Maybe system restore will work,just a thought.

Regarding net frame work,mine is just like yours.You can delete older versions,but,in this case I didn't delete it cause it seems to me that the hotfix is an update.

"how do I delete the partition on my laptop?",don't know.
