Add-Remove Programs not displaying correctlySomething is wrong with my Add-Remove Programs control panel item. When I
click on it I receive a line on top which says "There are no programs installed in this computer", a large blank space after it followed finally by the list of programs installed on my computer when I scrolled the display down. Even within the list of programs displayed the Change and Remove buttons are always grayed out. I suspect some bogus registry entry is causing this problem. Does anybody know what might be causing it ? Does anybody know what the registry key is that controls the Add-Remove Program list ? On Fri, 18 Mar 2005 15:37:22 -0500, "Edward Diener"

I wonder how things went wrong ? I
certainly did not mess with any system files myself. I am glad it is fixed.
