Live One Care, Comp. removal

Question
-
I'm using XP Home w/ Win Live one Care. I had a second computer in my circle that has now been taken off. I can't get it to remove it off the list. When I click "remove this PC" It says error is preventing one care from removing it & to restart comp. I did that but still get the same error. The other comp. is not being use at all as it was replaced. I tried the "fix it" button also nothing there either.

Removing the PC is completely optional. If you only have one PC using OneCare, simply stop monitoring the Circle by changing the PC to not be a hub PC.
You can also contact support for help with removing the PC from the Circle if the problem persists and you wish to remove it.

As noted above, you don't need to remove the PC fro yoru subscription. It is optional.
If you select Remove this PC from the view of your Circle on a hub machine, it should remove it from the subscription and if that PC is connected, it will unsubscribe that installed OneCare. If you encounter an error when clicking Remove, contact support or ignore the listing showing the inactive PC.
