Rebuild Add or remove programs list

W

Hi,
Perhaps due to an electricity outage, my Add or Remove Programs list
has been corrupted. The entries in this list are weird and have no
Change/Remove buttons. On running regedit, the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall has only new
programs listed. The old programs are gone.
Is there any way to rebuild this list? Thank you.

Try a System Restore. Go to Start>All Programs>Accessories>System
Tools>System Restore. Just follow the instructions. Choose a Restore Point
made before the electrical outage occurred.

Tried system restore. This got me only to a point after that outage,
if I select any dates before the outage it is unable to do the
restore. In fact, when I tried to undo the restore, it wouldnt let me
do that either (and it claimed to be completely reversible!!)
