    Ok, Teacher/Student Microsoft Office came pre installed as bloatware on my new hp and I just cannot get it to uninstall. I have tried Revo uninstaller, pcdecrapifier, and ccleaner and it still shows up....What is going on. I am running a 64bit version of Vista and have installed Word 2000 and Outlook 2007 with no known problems...Any help getting rid of this would be appreciated..

    Have you just tried to delete the folder from Program Files?

    Windows installer cleaner doesn't uninstall the program--it just cleans up the installation files. Deleting the program folder is...clumsy.

    The problem here is you installed Word 2000 and Outlook 2007 before you uninstalled the teacher studend edition.

    That always screws things up. Sometimes, you can uninstall the program you installed on top of the student teacher version and then remove Student Teacher, but not always.

    This is what I would do--uninstall Word 2000 and Outlook 2007 through Programs and Features. Run a system restore to the time before you you installed those programs. Then uninstall teacher student edition from Programs and Features.

    Now resintall Word 2000 and Outlook 2007
