There's nothing you can do but reinstall the programs. What's left if anything in the list? The best way to remove programs is manually, one be one, then clean up the empty (or partially empty) directories and if necessary the system.ini, win.ini startup files. If anyone knows better, please respond because I think Barry may by up the creek without a paddle.

Any suggestions in how I can restore them?
