Cannot Install/Uninstall Certain Programs

[Guest BruisedEggplant]

I find myself suddenly unable to uninstall certain programs, even ones that

are listed in the Add/Remove Programs menu. There is one game in particular

that is not functioning properly, but when I try to remove it, it loads the

install shield and the progress bar, then hesitates for a few seconds, then

shows a message box stating that the requested maintenance has been

performed. No matter what I try, I cannot get these items to re-install

either.
