Workspace not showing as active

[Mil79]

I wrote this in general office before because I'm new to this site but I
wanted to put this in the groove section just to be sure someone can help me
with this.

For some reason, on my main computer open workspaces are not stating that
they are active when open on my Groove launchbar. Other things I've noticed
is the folder sync toolbar button does not appear in that folder like it does
on my other computers.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling and that did not get it to work.
I've also tried using the repair tool and this did not work as well.

The folders still stay in sync, but because this computer does not appear
active, others in my workspace do not know when I am working on a certain
project which has caused complications for me.

Is there a quick fix to getting this working or does anyone know a way to
completely delete all of the office install so I can install it fresh to
hopefully get this working again. Thanks.

That's not quite the problem. I decided to take some screenshots to further
explain the problem in detail.

Problem Computer - http://comp.uark.edu/~adlofto/ss/problemcomputer.gif
Working Computer - http://comp.uark.edu/~adlofto/ss/workingcomputer.gif

As you see from the screenshots, one computer shows as active with the
Folder Sync button and groove synchronization taskbar on the left where as
the other one does not.

The workspaces still sync files correctly and all computers can tell when
each other are active however the problem computer never lists itself as
active. I was guessing it was in the same problem domain as the folder sync
button.

The problem computer use to work and had these folder sync buttons before
but recently they just disappeared. There was something that happened the
other day and the computer was forcibly shut down due to environmental
variables. Thinking that the groove workspace somehow came corrupt because
it is always running I tried to uninstall and reinstall but that did not fix
as well. I'm thinking that somehow all of Groove/Office was not deleted.

This is why I asked for maybe a way to completely wipe the office
installation/groove installation from the harddrive.

Thanks for your support so far!
