cannot open "add/remove programs" in control panel

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I just tried to remove an application I recently installed that instructed
the user to use Add/Remove Programs to uninstall. Turns out I can't open
Add/Remove programs in Control Panel for some reason. Any suggestions why
and how to fix it?
(I am owner/admin, nobody else uses the PC -- could a corruption of that
cause the problem? Just a thought.)

Thanks,

Pflu
