Why is there an extensive blank spot in the list of programs installed in
windows? I'm trying to uninstall a program, and am unable to view it in the
list. Can anyone help?
 
I have a user with that same problem. I went to that site and it had links
that run the exe to clean it up. How do I download the exe? I need to save
it to the server to copy to a user's PC to run. The user does not have
internet access.

I'm not sure what the problem is here. Just go to that page and click
on the download link. That downloads the .exe file.
 
Here is a script which lists all the negative icon references (which is
probably causing the problem) and sends them
to a log file.
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/reg/ARPNegCheck.vbs

Download the VBScript and run it. When you see the log file, copy the
contents and paste them here.

*If you've AutoCad installed, post back. Wes will provide a fix for that.
 
I have the same issue, I downloaded the script you suggested and received the
following response:

Add/Remove Programs entries with negative icon references
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

<-----Begin----->

Registry Path:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Ad-Aware SE Personal
Icon Reference: C:\PROGRA~1\Lavasoft\AD-AWA~1\Ad-Aware.exe,-0

* Where HKLM refers to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

<-----End----->

Please advise how to resolve deleting the blank space in the Add and Remove
Programs in the Control Panel

Thanks,
Hamp
 
I have ACAD 2006 installed and have the LOOOONG white space in my Add/Remove
Programs list. Is this related to ACAD and how do I get ride of it?
 
I curse Microsoft just about every single day over crap like this. I
recently had to upgrade from Win2K to XP and I have spent the last week
trying to fix a long list of "shouldn't happen" kinds of problems. This
program ran well and appears to have remedied another XP bug. Thanks to
those who suggested it and to those who wrote the code and were generous
enough to share it wilh us all.

The white space problem was created by AutoCAD, not MS. Upgrading an
operating system will have changes.
