[Dave]

The "Add or Remove Programs will not populate. What setting do I need to
modify to fix this problem?

Thanks!

Start>Run>regsvr32 appwiz.cpl [enter]

If that doesn't work, per MVP Ramesh one of the most common causes for
Add/Remove Programs being blank is that a recent install/uninstall
routine may have wiped out the contents of the entire "Uninstall"
registry key here:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

Each sub-key stores the Display Name, UninstallString information for a
program that you installed. Open Regedit.exe and navigate to the above
key. Check if the "Uninstall" key is empty (contains no sub-keys). In
that case, your best best is to rollback the system state using System
Restore.
