    cant remove programs?

    can someone help me and tell me what i am doing wrong, when i go to uninstall a program i keep on getting this msg,

    the system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation.

    then

    you do not have sufficient access to uninstall this program. Please contact your system administrator.

    this happens to any program i want to uninstall..
    i am using vista.

    thanx..

              If your account is an admin account and you are on a local computer only and you get this message without setting up such policies then i also recommend you to do a virus/malware/trojan scan as well.

                  go into control panel/user accounts if only one user it should be administrator if not click on change your account type, in the next box it will give you two types of accounts standard acc or administrator, if its standard change to administrator this will allow you to uninstall progs.
