I can't remove it. What program do I uninstall using "add remove programs"?
TIA, Paul

Did "add/remove" list Windows Live Essentials?

Maybe, this will help:

It was the first link listed from doing a Yahoo search: "uninstall

Windows Live Essentials

You can then select what part you want to uninstall.

I hope that's correct.

"Yahoo search", two words I haven't heard since about 2003. Thanks for
the flashback.

I rarely use Google for searches: way too many hits to wade through.
More isn't always better. Yahoo seems to do a better job at filtering
and organizing the most relevant hits. After all, all I need is that one
link I'm searching for, not 136,235,124 is 2.36 milliseconds. ;-)

Try using Bing. When it was first available, I made it the second
default tab. After a few months, I made it the Primary tab, followed by
Google. Now I have both default tabs set to Bing!
Not only do I find the search results to be more relevant and targeted to
my location (when appropriate), but I've already saved around $20 using
the Bing Cashback tied to my Paypal account!

Have perused Bing. It like Google is a power-search tool, and looks it,
even though Bing has a more artsy-fartsy home page than Google. (Guess
the pretty pictures make it work better.) However, I still prefer Yahoo
overall. It is where I get the news, the weather, my mail (several
yahoo.mail accounts), and, the occasional search, all from the compact
default Home page that is like the front page of a properly laid out
newspaper. I've never even personalized it with the exception of moving
the "hard" news section above the "soft" news.

To each, his own.

Look for Windows Live Essentials. Once started it will give you the
option to repair or remove any, or all of the programs that make up the
software suite (Live Writer, Live Mail, Messenger, etc...).
