Disabling replication problems

Hello,
When I try to remove/disable replication on a particular
server nothing happens. The message box 'Removing
publishing and distribution components ...' comes up and
just hangs from there on. Does anyone know why this is
happening?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance
watch what is going on while you try to disable replication using Profiler.
By chance do you have a remote distributor/publisher?
Do you get any error messages?
Try running sp_who2 while you are disabling replication to see if there is
any locking occurring.
