Hi,
My name is Ceira from Scotland, and I have just joined this forum, moving from windows 7.
I was forced to buy a new computer, all now come with windows 8.
I do not like it at all, it is so dumbed down and so difficult to use; I wish I could return to windows 7.
I have however over the last few months installed many of my old programs from windows 7. This was straight forward. It was also easy to uninstall them using the control panel.
Then suddenly, in the control panel window for uninstalling, many of these programs are not listed. Yes they are still working well, like Microsoft word and excel, but they do not show in the uninstall window.
Has this happened to anyone else? Could my anti virus AVAST have anything to do with it. Can anybody help me. I have spent ages on this.
Many thanks,
Ceira
