Microsoft Works 8 Removal.

Gadgetman496 · 2009-05-06 14:03:19

I have a laptop that came with Works 8 preinstalled & I want to remove it but it keeps asking me to insert the Disc (which I don't have) so I have to cancel the uninstall each time. This happens when I try to remove it using Add/Remove or Ccleaner. How can I uninstall it? -
