space in add remove programs

S

Steve Kuechle

I have a number of Windows XP pro workstations that have large blank spaces
in the add remove programs applet. This does not happen with all my
workstations but more than 1/2 have this issue. It does not seem to cause
any problems other than be a nuisance. Some systems will have two or three
large space but most only have one.

Hi William,

Do you have any additional information on this? My machine has this problem too. The fix discussed corrects an AutoCAD registry entry. I have no such installation.

Actually the fix for AutoCAD gave me a clue to my problem. The spaces was due to an invalid DisplayIcon entry in the Uninstall section of the registry for another program. Removing that reference cleared the problem on my machine. As always, remember to backup the entry before removing.
