Sometimes when you uninstall a program in win xp, you may encounter that removed program still exists in the Add / Remove Program lis. If this happen, you have to manually uninstall the invalid program entry in the Add/Remove. To remove the invalid program in Add/Remove program just follow the steps below:-

- Start -> Run -> type regedit and enter
- Look for this key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Uninstall
- Look for the invalid entries branch, once you found it
- backup the branch to a file
- delete the branch
Under this HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Uninstall, there are a list of entries started with {GUIDs}, check the DisplayName in the entry if it’s the same as what you want to deleted. If yes, backup that entry and delete that {GUIDs} entry.
That invalid program should be removed by now.
