create Uninstall.reg file&follow instructions in step#10 to repair add/remove entries.
1.Click Start, click Run, type regedit in the Open box, and then press ENTER.
2.Locate and click the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
3.After you click the Uninstall registry key, click Export Registry File on the Registry menu.
4.In the Export Registry File dialog box, click Desktop in the Save in box, type uninstall in
the File name box, and then click Save.5.Each key under Uninstall represents a program that appears in Add/Remove Programs. To
determine which program that each key represents, click the key, and then view the
following values:DisplayName - the value data for the DisplayName key is the name that is listed in
Add/Remove Programs-and-

Uninstall.reg file on your desktop to restore the original list of programs in the registry.11.If the program list is correct in Add/Remove Programs, you can right-click the Uninstall.reg

also when you reinstalled windows did you reinstall to c:\windows
by default it will try to reinstall to c:\windows.000
if so deltree c:\windows.000
and reinstall to c:\windows
