    Just wondering if anyone could help me with this?

    I'm having trouble uninstalling certain programs from my laptop (using Vista) such as the MS Office 2007 Trial Version and Adobe Reader 8. Thats the error message that comes up when i do try...although its stopped coming up for MS Office, instead now when i try nothing happens at all.

    I know I already made a thread about the MS Office but I couldn't find the exact error message I'd got until now.

    Any help anyone has would be greatly appreciated :)

    Was this a work laptop? Usually when you get those type of errors if means the software was installed over a network and now it's looking for the network location of where it was installed.

    Nope it's a home laptop.

    I think from googling the error it has something to do with my Registry     :confused:

    So it is. Did you see the Microsoft guide Link
    If you don't feel comfortable editing the registry maybe you could get someone to do it for you.

    open a command window, and type in 'set'.

    This should return the envoirment variables, check to see is there is a %appdata%\ entry. it might be in the path variable

    you can change it by double clicking on the system icon in the ctrl panel, and going to advanced, and pressint the 'envoirment variable' button.
