The program is a windows xp compatable program that is running on vista but I
want to uninstall it. It won't let uninstall and I get the error message that
it is a windows xp program. How do I get rid of it?

Same - issue - I have seen enough posts to convince me that there is an
underlying issue here.

Microsoft - please end the pain.
