Installing/Uninstalling Google Gears:

Visit: http://gears.google.com/ page, download and install the GoogleGearsSetup.exe file. Ensure that you are connected to the internet during installation. Once installed RESTART the browser to use the Gears. To check whether Gears is installed invoke Tools -> Gears Gears Settings.

The current Gears version is 0.1.54.0

System Requirements:

Browser: IE 6+ and FF 1.5+. As on date FF3.0 beta is not supported, refer this forum post.

OS: Linux, Mac, Windows XP/Vista. Though Windows 2000 is not mentioned in the supported list, I tired installing Gears and was successful too. May be you can try in your environment.

For any issues during installation you could follow some useful threads from Gears forums (especially the sticky posts with error codes).

To uninstall refer http://code.google.com/apis/gears/install.html
