To get rid of any windows version, do a clean install of the version
you want and be sure to use the partition delete/create - that
completely wipes out anything on the disk.

Twayne,

A bit drastic, young man; this ol soul thinks, he'll live with the
blemish in the Add/Remove list.

But, thanks for the interest.

Hmm, maybe I answered the wrong post; I recall the query as being how to
uninstall win7 with add/remove; which isn't your query, is it? I clicked up
an error somwere there! Yeah, it would be a bit drastic from what I see left
of your post.

Young man? THANK YOU! Haven't been called that in decades!

BTW, there is a program called AddRemovePro, free, that will let you
straighten out a bunch of errors & botched entries in the add or remove
area. Plus it does everything Add or Remove in Control Panel does. I've
never had it screw up and keep it around for just that reason. It also
backs up anything it works with so it can be undone.

HI Jim,

I consider myself better with windows & PCs than the man on the street, but
"block" and "unblock" in the right click choice is news to me. Unsuccessful
with a Google, I thought i'd come back here and ask if you could provide a
description of what it's about and why? Or a link, or maybe I'll just be
lucky and pick up someting from you for a better search term/s.
I've never noticed an "unblock" in the context menu before; what kind of
programs might use it? And is it there by default? XP SP3+ being used here
so if it's native, I should have it available.

Regards,

Twayne`

HI Jim,

I consider myself better with windows & PCs than the man on the street,
but "block" and "unblock" in the right click choice is news to me.
Unsuccessful with a Google, I thought i'd come back here and ask if you
could provide a description of what it's about and why? Or a link, or
maybe I'll just be lucky and pick up someting from you for a better search
term/s.
I've never noticed an "unblock" in the context menu before; what kind of
programs might use it? And is it there by default? XP SP3+ being used
here so if it's native, I should have it available.

Regards,

Twayne`

Jim,

'Don't know how to unblock. The only place I can find the Windows
7 Upgrade
Advisor is in the Add/Remove list.
'Made a few attempts to reinstall over the existing listing comes
up with a
failure.

A few months ago, when I ran the 7 Advisor it listed several non
compatibilities with software and firmware.

My computer has an ASUS 5B Premium MB, 10K RPM hard drives in a
Raid 1 configuration, a HP 8200 Scanner, Radeon X1900 Graphics
card, HP 8000 printer and Windows XP SP3.

I remember the Advisor didn't like the Radeon card and I think the
scanner;
plus some of my software.

W7 probably wouldn't like Parsons Address Book, a '95/'98
program. 'Need this one for 'haven't found anything that comes
close to being as good, including Outlook 7, which I also have
running in order to keep my Imagio cell phone contacts up to date.

I've come to live with the Add/Remove W7 Advisor listing; until
some day when all needs to be reinstalled.

Thanks for chatting.
