Microsoft Office 2007 Groove Monitor Removal

WHB · 10-03-2007, 10:57 AM

Hello, this thread is to address the program in Microsoft Office 2007 Enterprise Edition named Groove Monitor. The subject i will talk about is removing Groove from your PC. There are a lot of inquiries on the Web as to how can it be disabled or removing the bundled program. when installing Office 2007 I was aware that Groove had been installed but as time went on I began to realize that it showed up in System Configuration Utilities startup tab, which we know you can stop the program from running at startup, but i began looking for solutions as to how I could totally disable Groove, so I Googled for the solution but didn't come across a good solution as to how it could be done.

This is when the solution came to me and this is how to do it, many are looking for the solution when it is right under there nose, some are looking for a Groove Monitor entry in Add and Remove which there is no entry, it is as simple as going to (Add and Remove>Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007>Change (not Remove)>Check the Add or Remove Features button>Go to the Microsoft Office Groove entry then expand then check Not Available, there will be a red X placed there, then click continue, then let the removal process do it's thing and you will no longer have Groove on your PC.

Pretty standard for any package software to remove a part you dont want.

Yes it is, but believe it or not there are lots of people who are inquiring as to how to do it, because some are looking for the Groove entry in Add and Remove.

So there's nothing wrong with giving a helping post.

Sharing info like that for the first timers to learn will help them out.

WHB - Thank you so much. You have truly saved the day. I installed Office Enterprise 2007 on my new hard drive recently. Today I installed My Sam's Club Digital Photo Center from the photo disk and attempted to upload my photos from my disk. I kept getting an error message similar to this one:

Couldn't find libary MSVCR80.dll (required by C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~3\Office12\GrooveUtil.DLL) Please ensure that it is installed.

I spent all afternoon reading forums about msvcr80.dll -- and my head was spinning. I finally deduced that Microsoft Groove was the problem. Fortunately, I found your post and your very simple step-by-step instructions. After uninstalling Microsoft Groove, I was able to reinstall My Sam's Club Digital Photo Center and load my pictures on to my computer.

Thank you ever so much for your help.

Kindest regards,
Nan
