Then it is probably an "Imaging" mistake at the OEM. They
most likely used a similar model # image for your machine &
yours didn't have Works. But the entry in Add/Remove was
left over. If you are Registry literate, you can remove the entry
for Works by searching for it's subkey at
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall]
