Hi,

Are you sure you really want to try removing an earlier program version
after an upgrade? You might lose a few things the upgrade needs to
function. If it's just an entry in the add/remove list you want to go
away try the following.

Start/Run/REGEDIT

Navigate to this key:

HK_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

For most software installations there will be an entry, and a
corresponding key called "DisplayName". You can blow away things from
there. If you're not comfortable playing in the registry, you better
not! This won't delete the program, just make it not seen in the
add/remove list.
