Add/Remove Program Details

[Jay]

Use W2K Pro, SP-4 + most SP-5. I've erased or lost the detail
to my add/remove programs. I see a graphic box but no list of
programs.

What have I done?

Can I fix this with help.

Happy Holidays,

Jay

Hi

From the "Run" box try

regsvr32 %windir%\system32\appwiz.cpl

and
regsvr32 %windir%\system32\webvw.dll

and
regsvr32 %windir%\system32\mshtml.dll

You might try to reinstall IE, the article above also tells you how to do that.



See tip 6032 at http://www.jsiinc.com/reghack.htm as well

If this doesn't help, try to reinstall the OS service pack you already have
installed (or install a newer one if possible).


If the problem persists, you'll could do an in-place upgrade of the OS and see
if it helps:

Hi Torgeir,

The first one you instructed worked.

Thank you very much,
