pretty much since before a certain point(i dunno the exact point...maybe a
month and a hlaf ago) i cant uninstall things. if something was installed
before that point i cant uninstall it. I have quite a few things that take up
a lot of memory that i cant uninstall. First it was just not showing the
uninstall options for programs on the start menu(for example-i have photoshop
and there is no uninstall photoshop exe). Then i tried uninstalling things
from the "add or remove programs" icon in the control panel. That worked for
a while then somethign changed(example-photoshop cs3 extended was one item in
the list on "add or remove programs" now it is over 10 and it doesnt give a
"remove" option when you click on an item in the list. What can i do to
uninstall things or fix the problem?

Install CCleaner 2.01.507 from http://www.ccleaner.com. It has a
pretty good Uninstaller that will get rid of a lot of thing Add/Remove
Programs won't normally remove. It's in the Tools menu when you run
CCleaner. Give it a try.

Not sure about that one then, sounds like you have worse problems than
just missing uninstaller or setup files. Someone posted on here once
before on how to restore broken system files so perhaps you need to
restore the Add/Remove programs system files to un-break whatever
happened to your system.
