Change/remove program buttons do not appear, and not all programs are listed
in Change and Remove Programs. Is this a permission issue? I am the
Administrator. Suggestions on how to deal with this?

Some applications in Add/Remove Programs list are missing Change and
Remove buttons - http://www.winxptutor.com/arpbuttons.htm

Technical details at The Old New Thing : Why does Add or Remove Programs
show a large blank space?:

One of the most common causes for this problem is that a recent install/uninstall routine may have wiped out the contents of the entire "Uninstall" registry key here:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

Each sub-key stores the Display Name, UninstallString information for a program that you installed.

Open Regedit.exe and navigate to the above key. Check if the "Uninstall" key is empty (contains no sub-keys). In that case, your best best is to rollback the system state using System Restore.
