Install/Uninstalling software issue

Question

Okay, I'm wondering if anyone has this problem.   I just bought my Dell XPS 420 and got it on Friday. It's Monday and already there are some really annoying problems.   My major issue is the fact that I can't really uninstall/install programs. The installshield and/or windows installer will just hang there forever, showing no signs it's gonna move? is this a problem with a certain piece of software? I have zonealarm and AVG Free anti-virus but it hasn't acted up with it. PC-Cillin is one of the programs I've tried to uninstall with absolutely no success.   Anyone else have this problem and have a fix?   (HINT: I will NOT accept 'Just re-install windows' as an answer. A computer only 4 days old should NOT need to be re-installed.)   Thanks for all that can help!    - Jeff

Three anti-virus programs are probably your issue.

Windows General
