I'm afraid only that administrator can really help you. One of the other list members suggested that
if OOo is running on a network and another user is using it (or appears to be) the same thing might
happen. Anyway, I don't think we can help -- sorry. Depending on why you want to uninstall, there
may be some alternatives, but they may not be not pretty! It would be best to figure out the
specific admin policy that is involved and fix whatever is blocking the uninstall. Good luck!

Thank you for answering back.

The same conditions that were used during installation will have to be used to
uninstall. If you are
your own "administrator" you'll need to run that way again when using Add/Remove
Programs (or the
equivalent) to uninstall. You also need to be sure that OOo is not running --
turn the QuickStarter
off if it's on, and use the Task Manager to end any soffice.bin process that is
running.
If you still can't uninstall, you can come back here with more information, such
as your operating
system and version, and we'll try to help.
