The users-owners list is not for user questions - only questions to do with
administration of the mailing list itself.
In response to your question however - you need to provide more information
on what error messages are coming up when you are trying to uninstall
through the add/remove environment.
Someone will be able to assist if you respond to [email protected].

There's something very wrong here -- unintentional installation? I
*really* doubt that. Marie, what makes you think that OOo is installed?
Is there a folder in your start menu, or any icon on your desktop?
Assuming you are running Windows, is there a folder for OpenOffice.org
in Program Files? If not, OOo was not installed. Even if installed, it
could only slow down startup (if its QuickStarter function was active)
-- otherwise, it can only occupy space on the hard drive, which should
not affect performance unless it contributed to serious disk
fragmentation (you should probably run a defrag utility, in any case).
If you find an OOo folder in Program Files. the quick and dirty way to
uninstall is to delete that folder; this will not clean up any registry
entries, so you'd need to run a utility for that (Google is your friend
here; try registry cleanup as a search term). Normal installation always
makes a true uninstall available through Add/Remove Programs.
If you did not find an OOo folder, but did have a file on your desktop
(or wherever your downloads ordinarily go), you can simply delete it;
it's an installer, not the application itself.
