Hello,
First make sure that the list is indeed blank, and it's not a case of
a large blank space followed by the programs - use the scroll bar on
the side.
If it is indeed completely empty:
Try these steps:
Click Start, click Run, and then type "CMD" {without the quotes}.
At the prompt, type "REGSVR32 APPWIZ.CPL" {without the quotes, and a
space after REGSVR32}
Next, open the Registry Editor by going to Start => Run and typing in
"regedit" {without the quotes}.
Locate this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
Are there sub-keys with programs listed?
