Hi Judi,

  1. Is the issue confined to DC Universe Online? Are you able to uninstall other programs without any issue?
  2. How exactly did you try to uninstall it? Did you try uninstalling it from program Files?

I just went into the registry and ended up manually removing all the entries in reference to this program. Than was able to remove the Directory and the files associated with DCUO.
So far no errors now, and no longer appears in the "Programs and Features", "Uninstall or change a program".
I really hated taken this route, but since I worked on Computers since 1990, with building and setting up OS for other ppl. I thought that Windows 8 Pro, was different. But it turned out more simple then I made it out to be.

Search for DC Universe Online using search and set to Everywhere and delete it completely from the computer. After you delete DC Universe Online,  Right click on the Windows Recycle bin and select empty the recycle bin.

Step 2: Delete associated registry leftovers


Modifying REGISTRY settings incorrectly can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from booting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the configuring of REGISTRY settings can be solved. Modifications of these settings are at your own risk.

b. Type in "regedit", and then click ENTER to open Windows Registry Editor.
