Please help.  I just want to uninstall!  No entries found in add remove programs.  How do I remove the translator preview!?
I'm now using skype for my new postion and I can't affort to be a part of the translator preview.  It's affecting my system stability.  System is acting wonky and I'm getting many entries in my system log:

Hi,
Are you trying to remove Skype entirely, or just get rid of the tool tray icon?
IIRC, you get that icon as long as Skype is running in the background.  There's a checkbox in Skype options that will keep it from running on startup.  That will eliminate the icon but you won't get notified for incoming calls.
