Running WindowsXP with Serv Pack 2

Two weeks ago I used add/remove to remove a program, but the name of the
program was left behind. I tried to use Add/Remove again but got the message
"An installation support file could not be installed. The system cannot find
the file specified". So I left it that way.

Now I find that I need this program again but when I try to install it, I
get the message that "...it's already installed. Use Add/Remove to remove
it".

Can anyone PLEASE tell me how to get the name of the program off the
Add/Remove Page?

Thank you! Gene
 
MS Has a utility to clean up the Add/Remove database and it works, I
just disremember it's exact name. It's in the Recourse Kit and is
downloaded from MS TechNet.
