Where can I enable product type

[PlaceDesMomes]

Hello

When I want to create a new product I only have "Simple Product" available in the product type select box. I think it's the previous web agency who developped the site who did this hack. I need now to create other product type. Do anyone has an idea where I can set the other options back?

Thank you for your help.

/app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/etc/config.xml

I would check in that file;  (this file controls what methods are available)

Should have a code such as:   ( check to see if its there, or commented out )

<catalog>
            <product>
                <type>
                    <simple translate="label" module="catalog">
                        <label>Simple Product</label>
                        <model>catalog/product_type_simple</model>

                    </simple>
                    <grouped translate="label" module="catalog">
