Open the registry editor:

Click START, RUN, type 'regedit' (without quotes) & press ENTER.

Navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

And all the programs should be in the list.

Normally, you would delele the last one that displays in th add/remove box,
but if none display then its probably the first entry that is corrupt.

Make sure you back up your registry before making changes; REGISTRY menu,
EXPORT REGISTRY FILE...

I hope this is of some help.
