If system restore (going back in time) doesn't work, it might be a good time to backup your important files, and do a complete system restore with the restore CDs (complete OS reinstall).
Remember though, this WILL wipe EVERYTHING on the drive!

Estimate how much time you think it will take to uninstall these various applications (manually -- removing them from the file system and removing references in the registry...a dangerous task) or the process of re-installing Windows...you're probably at a wash.
With a clean install, you have the opportunity to install what YOU want on there. Otherwise you can take the time to remove items manually...and that can be just as time consuming, finding the apps that may or may not be the culprits causing you problems.
