Running XP Home SP3

When I select control panel/add remove programs, it runs and says wait while
list is being populated, and although the hard drive is working nothing gets
populated. I have not had this issue previously. I recently installed
software for a Logitech trackball mouse and a Garmin GPS. Don't know if
there's any connection. What do I have to do to get the list populated?
Thanks.

Are you sure you are waiting long enough? When you have like a few
hundred programs installed, it seems like it could take 10 minutes to
populate. There are some third party programs that are much faster though.

I waited over 30 minutes. Previously it loaded in much shorter period of
time.

Problem Resolved. I'm not sure how but I did a restore to a previous date
and also rolled back to a previous setting on a registry cleanup done by
System Mechanic. Thanks for the advice.
