Office XP Small Business disk

[William Davis]

No it did not give me this option. I believe it was because the actual
software was deleted using Explorer rather than the normal way of
uninstalling using Add/Remove in Control Panel. They probably did it that
way because they did not have or lost the original CD.

I do not see any reference to any previous Office software when I look in
Explorer; therefore I assume that the software was deleted using Explorer.
The only reference I see of the old Office XP Small Business is in the
ADD/REMOVE Programs list. At present all I want to do is remove it from the
list without having to reformat the Hard drive. I do not unstand why or how
this XP version would ever have been on this computer since it had Windows Me
operating software on it. There must be another method of deleting it other
than using ADD/REMOVE Programs since it will not allow me to do so unless I
have the CD.

I am convinced that the software is no longer on the computer, however I
still have the task of cleaning up the Add/Remove registry or list so that
the computer will not prompt for the CD to be inserted.

Thanks.

JoAnn,

Explorer reveals that the software is no longer on the computer. However it
appears that it was not uninstalled properly since it still shows up on the
Add/Remove registry or list in Control Panel.

I do not need a disk if someone will teach me how to clean up this
Add/Remove registry so that it will reveal only the software that is
presently installed on the computer.

Bill

If that was an OEM version of Office and the former owner of the computer
did not give you the disk, then he's violating the EULA. What he should have
done was to reformat the computer and turn over all of the CDs to your
organization

And I kind of doubt that someone here will send you their disk. Nothing
personal, but I wouldn't. What if it was lost in the mail on the way back?
I'd be SOL if I needed it.

A computer was donated to our charity. It had Microsoft Office XP Small
Business on it at one time, and I am trying to uninstall or delete or
remove
it from the list of Programs on Control Panel. However it will not allow
me
to remove it as it keeps asking for the "Microsoft Office XP Small
Business"
disk which we do not have, and at times a pop up comes up asking for the
same
disk.

This software evidently is not sold by Microsoft any more. I installed
Office Professional 2003 on this computer sucessfully, and hoped that it
would delete this old version, but it did not.

How can I get this off of this computer? Can someone send me a disk so I
can uninstall it?

Please respond to (e-mail address removed)

Download TweakUI. There used to be a setting to remove a program name from
the Add/Remove Program panel if it had already been removed.

(If this has changed, would someone please let me know. I don't use Tweak on
