Add / Remove Programs is BLANK!

[Guest]

Hello everyone,

I noticed that when I go to Control Panel --> Add/Remove Programs, my entire
list is BLANK. There is not a scroll bar either so it's not just blank
spaces, there actually is not a single program in the list. What can I do to
resolve the issue? I already tried doing a System Restore to a point about 3
- 4 days on my computer but it did not correct the issue.

I'm running Windows XP w/SP2 included on the CD.

Thanks!

Chad

I am having the same problem. No entries show in the Add or Remove programs
screen. No scroll bar either.

Both replys to this post are not helping. The first one is a dead link and
the second one applies to Windows 2000. I have tried everything related to
this problem with no result. I do not have negative entries either. Please
help.
