Unless its a display model on the cheap.

Sounds like a fresh install of O/S or look into doing a factory default try alt F10 on start up mate.........

hi m8, have a try on Windows Installer Cleanup utility on google...that might help.

I am also facing this problem, i bought a new laptop last mont, and there are some demo software in it, which i dont find useful for me, and they are just occupying the space in my hdd, i tried to uninstall it through the add and remove programs from the control panel, but it doesn't helped. I think i should go for re installation of the OS.

If you want to permanently fix, formatting and reinstalling the operating system (I had the same problem with a company laptop that had XP, I took the opportunity to put windows 7)
