Uninstall programs not removed from Add/Remove programs "Joseph Childs" <jchilds1[ at ]nycap.rr.com> 6/20/2007 11:18:56 PM I have Windows XP on my computer. Recently, I removed several programs by using the Add/Remove programs feature in control Panel. They were all removed sucessfully. Shortly after I had to restore my computer to an earlier date. when I did, I found that the previously removed programs were not on the computer,but they were still listed in the Add/remove programs area. When I tried to remove them from the list by doing an uninstall, a message would generally appear stating that process could not proceed because the install.log file could not be opened. How do I remove these programs that are no longer on my computer from the Add/Remove program list? -- Joseph Childs (jchilds1[ at ]nycap.rr.com) All messages are checked for viruses before being sent.
