How to uninstall wordperfect suite

i bought a new computer which came with winxp home ed. and corel wordperfect suite; i have office 2003 so i am trying to uninstall the corel suite but i cant seem to find an option to remove it in add/remove programs; i have an uninstall utility called advanced uninstaller pro but i still dont see corel or wordperfect as a program avail to uninstall.

What do u suggest?

Thanks
 
Ubamous, I believe that for the pre-Wordperfect Suite 11 versions, the best way to attempt this is to insert the installation disk and either autorun or find the run executable. When the installation GUI starts up, it should ask you whether you wish to install, repair or uninstall the program. Hit uninstall and specify that you require a full uninstallation.

Thus you require the Wordperfect installation disk. If your vendor didn't supply one, then they are wretches and you should bitch like hell.

thanks catachresis,

as far as i remember when the computer came, the only cd's i saw were the system recovery cd's (i will double check that) and no separate cd for the os or any programs. The computer i got is a refurbished one, not brand new.
 
Ubamous, in the best-case-scenario, the WordPerfect suite installation disk should be incorporated within the system restore disks. Check if there's a disk for software or applications. If there's no cd, the hard-way of doing the uninstall would be to get a good-quality registry cleaner/fixer application like jv16 or perhaps registry first aid.

I'd first backup the registry entirely ( and/or do a system backup in WinXP so the process could be reversed if all went awry). Then I'd boot to safe-mode and manually delete the program files for the suite and the common file Corel applications. Next I'd run the registry cleaner to find and fix vestigial registry entries. Last, I'd reboot and watch everything carefully. If things became horrible, I'd revert to the last secure backup of the system with XP restore (or some such).

That said, I still use WordPerfect suite and much prefer it to MS Office. I'm not sure why you want to uninstall the program. Ah well, each to his own. . . .
