Cant uninstall programs!

I am using Windows XP Pro and have a 900mhz pc with 256RAM.

I think the problem Im having occurred after I ran one of those 'registry cleaner' programs'. I cannot uninstall three (so far) programs on my PC. Either the 'install.log' or 'uninst.isu' files cannot be found when trying to uninstall, and therefore the program cannot be uninstalled. The three programs are WinFax Pro 10, Adobe Photoshop 7 and GetRight. I have tried re-installing the programs (without obviously being able to uninstall them) but the same problem occurs. Could you please tell me how I can solve this problem, as its very annoying. I have already posted this problem in the Adobe forum (for Photoshop) but havent been able to get any solution! I want to completely remove these programs and any references to them in the registry. Your help/advice is greatly appreciated.

there is a way to do this but it involves entering the registry and deleting the
the software there software is found in hot key local machine this is a dangerous practice but does work consult the web on how to do this regidit is found in widows system 32 file its a green icon click it it will open the registry if you recognize the software name [ some software programs have ambiguos names dont delete anything you do not recognize] right click it and press delete make a system restore point before hand and get a registry back up program like erunt so if you make a mistake you can restore the registry

useing a registry cleaner sould not have any efect it only removes invalid things which keys are pionting to.download an uninsatall program on 30 day trial in these programs if the software shows up there there is a forced removable button
ps never delete a program file in the program files folder which you will see in my computer this stuffs your computer no end
