I didn't chose to sign up and when I went to uninstall the program and can't figure out how. Any suggestions? It doesn't seem to be listed in the Remove Program list. I have Win 7. Geeesh, what a pain in the rump roast.
Sounds like you went through quite the ordeal! I was installing Live Mail at the time, so signing up was something I was already doing. I just added Movie Maker as another option to install.
You can uninstall any of the components of Windows Essentials by finding Windows Live Essentials in the Remove Programs list. From there, you should get an option to "Remove one or more Windows Essential programs." Then you get a list of what components you have installed. Gallery and Movie Maker should be there.
