add/remove programs

[JHI]

In my Add/Remove Program window this is what happens:
13 entries show up. Then I have to scroll down to the far bottom of the page
for the other 22 entries. What's in between ? Thick black vertical lines.

win xp

Thanks.

Try here: http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_abc.htm Click on "A" and scroll
down to Add / Remove Programs.

Possible cause:

It's a hosed 'DisplayIcon' in a registry entry in

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

The value for DisplayIcon should be a path to an icon file, plus an optional comma-followed-by-a-number. If the optional number is -1, you'll get the big blank. Just search through the key mentioned above for "DisplayIcon", checking the value of each. If you find a ",-1" in any of them, remove the comma and the -1 and you'll be OK

This would likely either be the last of the 13 "first entries" or the first of the last 22.
