Weird-looking format of programs in "Add/Remove Programs"

my add/remove programs looks really weird. i do not knwo what happened....
for example, there would be parts of a program on the list, jsut scattered about, and i wud not be able to uninstall them.

like for microsoft word, it has "copy" and "paste " for one of the programs.
like, wth?

Is this a new problem? Were things working OK previously? Any new hardware and or software?

If this is a new problem try a System Restore to a point prior to the problem:

start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore


If this doesn't apply or work you could try running

sfc /scannow

from start run.

The System File Checker will check for and replace needed System Files.

You will need your XP CD in order to do this.
