On Windows XP Home edition, is it possible to see when and who might have installed or unistalled software?

Two programs - MS Office 2003 and Spysweeper have mysteriously disappeared - and the culprint won't own up. So wondering whether WinXP can provide any clues.

Hi, Right click my computer, click Manage and go to Event viewer, maybe you will find some clues there. Also, try going to system restore and check out the various restore points. Every time a program is added or deleted a restore point is created automatically.
