Hi, I am new to this site, I hope I can get some help here.
OK, I am pretty computer friendly and usually am able to fix any problems I encounter, but today I ran into something that has never happened and am very lost.
I was playing around with Microsoft XP Power toys and then I uninstalled it when suddenly half of my programs disappeared from the "Add/Remove Programs" and the programs that ARE still there don’t have any options to uninstall/remove/change.
Here is a screen shot:
I think I screwed up the PC by messing around with Power Toys or do the 2 have nothing to do with each other?
I have been on the net for hours now trying to find a solution and all the forums direct me to the Registry keys with instructions on how to uninstall programs manually, though I am not looking to uninstall anything, I just want to know why most of my programs are not even showing up in the list?
Any help would be greatly appreciate it, I am fed up with this problem and am this close to reformat the PC which is a pain in the neck.
Thanks in advance.
