How are you trying to uninstall the program? if you are going through control panel, add remove programs. Then try installing works on top of the already installed works program than uninstall it to make sure that you remove all the files. Then reinstall Works again.

Yes I have. That is when I get that error. So I can not remove it. I all have tried to repair it with the cd and It say it has been installed but it still does not work.
