Unable to uninstall items in Programs & Features

I right-click an item in the list of Programs & Features but no context
menu is displayed so that I can not uninstall the item(an application
program). How can I unistall it?

I have exact the same problem in Programs & Features. in the subta
installed updates, the remove button *_does_* appear & there is a
context menu when right click

I think the cause of this is a corrupt uninstall of Zone Alarm (thi
was executed via Programs & Features): while uninstalling zonealarm th
uninstallprogram didn't respond anymore, though ZA was correctl
uninstalled. So it stayed open. (note: the uninstallprocess was a *.tem
process, it could not be ended
