finding history of installed files

Hey guys

im having the Find String (QGREP) Utility has stopped working problem, i do know that this is already a subject but the forum is locked and i know how to fix the problem, remove last installed file of program. my real problem in doing so is i dont know what the last file/ program i installed was and am new to windows 8 and was wondering if there is a way to bring up history of last installed programs and files, if there is how do i do this.

thanks

and have a good night
