"DB" was not found in TransPublication collection

I had to restore one of the dbs which has replication setup with another SQL,
my problem is that after restoring db I have lot of red "X"s on Publisher
server, and I cannot get ride of those, what am trying to do is to clean this
up and recreat replication but get following errors (one in the subject)
-SQL could not retrieve info about publication
I was even thinking about dropping this db and create again then restore but
get another error msg: cannot delete it's being use for replication.
under replication I see <no items> all errors are in Replication Monitor and
db itself has "hand" indicating it's being use for replication...
need some help?
Thanks
Thanks for responding, but it does not work... I did restore old db and then
was able to clean this up... thanks again
