Add-Remove Program file corrupted?

[Gene Hora]

The Add-Remove program on my son's PC (XP-SP2) appears to be corrupted. When
opened, it appears normal up to letter "L" series of programs. Then it shows
about 3 full screens of just blank white space; then following that are
about 2-3 full screens of the same white space but with a 3" wide vertical
black space running down the middle of the screen. After that the programs
pick up at the "M" series of programs.

The Add-Remove functions seem to work OK, but it's like waiting for a cyber
bomb to go off. I've checked the MVP sites I have bookmarked and couldn't
find anything that related to this problem.

Thanks for the quick response. I had previously checked Kelly's site, but
certainly missed that. Next time I'm over at my son's house, I'll try the
method of removing the last application in Registry where it was advised.
I didn't understand the instruction about "either .... remove the negative
number..." (from the DisplayIcon)

I'll post back on the results. Thanks again.
