The machine is running Windows XP Pro SP3. Installed a few days ago, drivers
are all installed, updates are all installed. Lots of programs are already
installed, from Dynamic GP to Gtalk to Microsoft Office.

When I go into Add or Remove programs it says please wait while this list
populates; It, however, regadrless of time open, never brings anything up.
If I close it and attempt to open again, add or remove programs will not open
unless I restart. I can doube click, and right click - run and I dont get
any change.

Things I have checked.
I went to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowÂ*s\CurrentVersion\Uninstall in the
registery and checked to see permissions and if the files were there. All
the apps were there and the permissions were all listed as full. (this
happens when i log in as the admin or the user with admin privliges)

I also ran, REGSVR32 APPWIZ.CPL and it completes successfully.

Any help would be appreciated. I dont really want to wipe the system again
since its a fresh install.
Any other ideas?
PLEASE HELP!

That problem sounds like what this program fixes. Try it,
won't hurt.

"The gap is caused by a badly formatted "DisplayIcon"
entry in the uninstall area of the registry or a bad icon file."
