Revo Uninstaller might help, it's freeware:

Dave-UK thanks very much for your help! I'm glad you told me about the Revo
uninstaller that will come in handy in the future. Now when I go to the add and remove and click on the winter pack program,the word uninstall won't even come up any more because I think I have uninstalled all the programs components in-turn when the uninstaller tries to locate the program it cant because it's nothing there but the words this is my guess I'm new at this,because even when I tried the hunter locate on the uninstaller it tells me
to locate the program components and uninstall manually! Now I think if I would have had a program like Revo before I went and uninstalled the installer of this program It wouldn't had been such a problem getting rid of it!
Now it seems like I'm stuck with just the wording of the program now! maybe I'm wrong what do you think! Thanks Again!

I am lost!
I don't understand your exact problem.
Is this Fun Pack thing giving you an error message at boot-up or something?
What do you mean you are stuck with the wording? What wording where?
CrapCleaner will remove the entry in AddRemove Programs as I said before.

What I mean by wording is just the name of the program won't come off! In add and remove programs the name of the program winter fun pack 2004 xp for windows wont remove! I used the uninstaller revo and it said that it couldn't locate the installer components, delete it manually! which I have already tried! When I said wording I just meant the actual name of the program thats written down.

If it's any consolation, I haven't managed to figure out what thataboy85's
problem is either.

OK, if you want to remove an entry in the AddRemove box
then you will have to go into the registry.

The list of installed programs is here:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

If you are not used to using Regedit then take it slow and easy.
In the Start menu somewhere there should be a 'Run' command, it may be under Accessories.
Find it and type in ' regedit.exe '.
Navigate to the key above.
Right-click the ' Uninstall ' key in the left pane and select 'Export'.
Give it a suitable name and save to your desktop.
(This is done to back up the key for safety.)
Open the Uninstall folder in the left pane and all the installed
program entries will drop down.

Now have a look down the list and see if you can see Fun Pack or whatever.
It may be listed under a random-looking 32 character name.

When you are sure you have found the entry in the right pane delete that key on the left.

If all goes well you wont need the backup file you saved.
Good luck.

I'm hoping it's just the redundant entry in the Add Remove box - time will tell!

D/l and install the program , and then uninstall correctly , not just
deleting ( until it says so ) .
